NOTICE OF DECISION PERTAINING TO THE ‘USAGE OF THE WORD ‘UNLIMITED’ IN THE ADVERTISEMENTS FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES By ALL TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE LICENSEES PROVIDING SERVICES WITHIN THE BORDERS OF NAMIBIA OR ANy PART THEREOF
BACKGROUND TO DECISION:
A complaint was submitted to the Authority in a matter of Michael Atkinson // Mobile Telecommunication Limited , which complaint was filed on 5 January 2015, wherein Mr. Atkinson complained that MTC advertisement referring to their Internet access as ‘unlimited’ was misleading, because the service was subjected to limitations contained in the fair usage policy. The Authority found that the use of the word ‘unlimited’ is indeed misleading and further that it constitutes false advertising and thus a direct contravention of Section 79 of the Communication Act. Mobile Telecommunication Limited was thus ordered by the Authority to withdraw the advert and further to align it with the principles of the Fair and Acceptable Use Policy.
In 2018, Mobile Telecommunications Limited submitted a complaint to the Authority in that this ruling should be made applicable to all providers of telecommunications services to ensure fair and equal treatment of all licensees.
CONSIDERATION OF ISSUES
- The Authority’s position in the Atkinson matter was that the Mobile Telecommunication Limited’s advert using the word ‘unlimited’ internet while customer’s usage is subject to the Fair and Acceptable Use Policy, which throttles the initial speed that the customer signed up for and the quantity of the data is limited, constitutes false advertising.
- The Authority’s decision was influenced by the position in the case of Telkom Mobile unlimited // Faulkner 1 where it was held that Regulators are there to control deceptive, misleading or untrue advertising and the wide variety of sophisticated techniques used. It was further held that a false advertisement can be classified as deceptive as opposed to making an honest mistake.
- Bandwidth throttling is the intentional ‘slowing down’ of Internet services by an Internet service provider. It is a reactive measure employed in communication networks to regulate network traffic and minimize bandwidth congestion.
- MTC’s Fair and Acceptable Use Policy which sets out the customers’ use of its services. 7.30 Paragraph 4.1 of the Policy states that:
‘There is no limit on the monthly network usage. However, depending on the customer’s product/package, should a customer’s usage reach 50GB or 90GB (whichever is applicable) within one billing cycle month, the downloading and uploading speed shall be reduced to 512kbps for 3G packages and 1Mbps for 4G packages for the remainder of the billing cycle month notwithstanding the fact that payments or additional bundles have been made or purchased.’(Our emphasis)
- Paragraph 4.1 of the Policy puts restrictions on the network usage by the customer. It is noted that the Telecom Namibia fair use policy for pre and post-paid packages has the same import as that of MTC.
- According to Collins dictionary, the word unlimited means without limits or bounds and it also mean not restricted, limited or qualified. 2
- It is therefore the Authority’s position that when any telecommunications service provider is advertising its internet services, using the word ‘unlimited’ will constitute false advertising if there is any restriction on internet usage, either in speed or value of the internet bundle.
- This is especially because when it comes to the provision of internet services, the consumers’ choice is not only influenced by the size of the data bundle but also the speed at which the bundle will be utilized. A restriction on the internet speed when a customer has exceeded a certain amount of data usage is thus as material in the consideration of when the service is unlimited, as is the size of the bundle itself.
- The word unlimited is not a true reflection of how the services are provided as unlimited would mean the absence of any form of restrictions, be it speed or bundle size.
1 Telkom Mobile Unlimited// C Faulkner 2016-3203F (ASC)
2 http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/unlimited
- Section 79 of the Communications Act 3 provides for consumer protection and embodies the requirements that a licensee must meet in order to protect the consumer. The nub of section 79(1) is that licensees are expected to make full disclosure of information to consumers concerning the terms and conditions for the provision of telecommunication services 4 .
- The Fair and Acceptable Use policy by the Licensees falls squarely within section 79(1) as same is given to consumers at the point of contracting.
- The fact that the offer is effectively limited to X GB, for instance, is a material condition, especially given that this limitation contradicts the prominent message of ‘unlimited’ data. The Licensees therefore carry a responsibility to communicate this limitation upfront, rather than hiding it in its policies and fine print.
- The Authority is thus of the position that any advert for the sale of internet services using the word ‘unlimited’ internet while the customer’s usage is subject to the Fair and Acceptable Use Policy which throttles the initial speed that the customer signed up for and the quantity of the data is limited, constitutes false advertising.
DECISION
On the 7th of December 2018, the Authority resolved:
- a) Telecommunications service licensees advertising telecommunications services and products are prohibited from using the word ‘unlimited’ in any of their advertisements, if the advert does not reflect the terms and conditions of the Fair and Acceptable Use Policy. Any advert for internet/broadband services utilising the term ‘unlimited’ by a telecommunications service licensees, which is subject to limitations in the fair use policy, must contain the terms and conditions contained in the Fair Use Policy on the advert. A mere reference of the fair usage policy in the advert without giving the terms of the policy is prohibited.
- b) Telecommunication service licensees that have packages contradicting the resolution in (a) are directed to withdraw the advertisement and replace it with wording that accurately reflects the essence of the applicable Fair and Acceptable Use Policy.
- c) Telecommunications Service Licensees must implement this decision within thirty (30) days from date on which this notice is published in the Gazette and provide the Authority with proof of implementation

3 Communications Act No. 8 of 2009
4 I submit that this provision is pervasive throughout the contract and does not only apply to the point of contracting. If the latter were true then consumers will only be protected at the point of contracting. That could not have been the intention of Parliament in enacting the Act.

1. BACKGROUND SUMMARY
A complaint was submitted to the Authority in the matter of Mr . Tironnen Kauluma // Mobile Telecommunications Limited, which complaint was filed on 27 March 2014. The dispute was based on clause 7 of the MTC’s Subscription Service Agreement which inter alia stipulated that:

Should the Subscriber decide to terminate this agreement prior to the expiry of the initial contract period, then and in such an event the Subscriber shall remain liable for his monthly subscription charges for the remaining months of the contract.’
On the 16th of June 2017, the Authority resolved that Clause 7 of MTC’s terms and conditions be amended as follows:

In the event of such an extension, the remaining provisions of the subscription agreement will apply.’
- (b) Where the Agreement is not extended in accordance with the provisions of the clause 7A but nevertheless continues to operate indefinitely in accordance with clause 7 hereof, then, the Subscriber will not be required to pay such monthly charges as MTC levied or was entitled to levy as part of the cost of the original cellular phone, if any, provided to the Subscriber in terms of this Agreement.
