chimaroke12: I was lookin for info about the current state of the telecom infrastructure, basically anything that can give someone abroad a good insight on the telecom industry in Nigeria

AjanleKoko:

What sort of infrastructure are you referring to? Network coverage, wireline or wireless penetration? Services available, etc?
Most of that information you can get online.

buh y wont management approve it since it will improve QoS? Every system has got its peak (there's a specific name for it, cant think of it now) @ ds stage input might nt affect d output as d system might b @, is it equilibrium?

m mt saying ds is wat is obtainable @ mtn, i dont work there, but there's a possibility dt MTN has reached equilibrum so spending 40% of their revenue on enhancement might only lead to 1% increase in profit, if ds is d case, do u think its wise to carry out such activity? afterall profit is rolling in n mayb even on d increase, instead dey might take d cash to a small village in sokoto or borno to increase coverage if it will mean more revenue.

in my opinion, i think only d FG (mayb thru NCC) can improve d QoS of both ISP n mobile communication operators in nigeria. And NO d recent robbery of ds operators by NCC isnt d way out......
