These, he said, will include licensing fee, as well as identification of the limitations of the various license categories, with a view to clearly determining licenses that should be phased out or amended.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, Danbatta outlined Management\u2019s seven-point deliverables from the Committee to include a comprehensive review\/report on existing licenses; report and recommendations on consultative fora; and report on recommended new license undertakings.<\/p>\n<p>Others include a report on recommended amendment to license fees and durations; a report on benchmarking of license with similar jurisdictions, a report on the impact of certain licenses on other license holders. The Committee is also expected to recommend solutions as well as to develop updated regulatory framework for new and amended licenses as the case may be; and a final report on the project with all recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking during the inauguration of the Committee, the Director, Licensing and Authorization, NCC and Chairman of the Committee, Mohammad Babajika, assured the Commission\u2019s Management of the Committee\u2019s resolve to deliver on the terms of their assignment.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the Committee\u2019s assignment, and following due consultations with industry stakeholders, the Commission envisages a new draft framework for new and amended licenses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has initiated the process for the review of existing licensing structure in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.
