The Association of Telephone, Cable TV and Internet Subscribers has kicked against a proposed plan by DSTV and GOTV to hike subscription prices in Nigeria.
According to the group, introducing a new tariff based on the Value Added Tax of 7.5 per cent is wrong and should only be based on the additional 2.5 per cent.
This is contained in a letter signed by the National President, ATCIS, Adesina Bilesanmi, and the Secretary to the Board of Trustees, Mrs Loris Anger.
It reads in part: “We write on behalf of Board of Trustees, Elders Forum, Executives and entire members with over 185 million subscribers drawn from the six geopolitical zones.
“The above-named association, wish to notify you that, we say no to increase in monthly tariff DStv/GOtv subscription in Nigeria during COVID-19. We are the masses advocate and fight for positive change for the interest of the subscribers.”
