Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) has threatened to suspend services in seven states over closure of their Base Transceiver Stations (BTS).
ALTON Chairman, Engr. Gbenga Adebayo on Thursday listed the states as Ogun, Ondo, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Osun and Kaduna.
He lamented that they were treating the telecoms industry as an extractive sector by imposing myriads of taxes on operators and closing down the BTS sites arbitrarily, disclosing that the body had resolved that its members will not reopen sites closed by state or local government authority.
He stated that arbitrary sites closure without following the Nigeria Communications Commission, (NCC) guidelines and best practices will no longer be tolerated.
