Danbatta, who was represented at the forum by the NCC Director of Licensing and Authorisation, Muhammed Babajika, said data depletion was one of the most common complaints among customers in the nation’s telecommunication industry.
The complaints, according to him, were mostly from customers who recently migrated to 4G/LTE technology.
He added that the NCC has increased its capacity to handle type approval of devices following the introduction of 5G technology.
