CEOAFRICA gathered that the interconnection debt amounting to over #20 billion among telecom operators in Nigeria is threatening the stability of the telecommunication market.

According to what the industry analysts said, the development is worrisome because some operators have disclosed plans to cut-off debtor networks after mediation and arbitration avenues are fully explored.

Although analyst have warned that this move could have a negative impact on the already deteriorating quality of service level rendered by operators to about 166 million mobile subscribers in Nigeria; saying if it happens, subscriber will not be able to make or receive calls from other networks.

 This could largely impact on revenue generation for debtor networks.
