Contrary to claims that telecoms operators, especially the quartet of MTN, Airtel, Globacom and 9mobile are responsible for the rise
in consumer data depletions, the Nigerian Communications Commission has explained the reasons for the challenges.
In terms of background apps, NCC observed some apps continue to consume data even when the users are not actively using them. It noted that background data usage can quickly add up and deplete data allowance. The telecoms regulator said some apps display ads that use data. “These ads can consume data even if you don’t interact with them,” the Commission stated.
According to the NCC, one of the main reasons for data depletion is excessive usage. “If you use your phone to stream videos or music, download large files, or use data-intensive apps for a long time, your data limit can quickly be depleted,” it said.
