TELECOMS INDUSTRY LOST 21 OPERATORS IN 10 YEARS – ALTON source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/06/telecoms-industry-lost-21-operators-in.html The Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) says 21 telecommunications operators have gone into extinction in the country in the last 10 years. ALTON Chairman, Mr Gbenga Adebayo made this known during the ”Broadband Summit 2017”, organised by BusinessDay Media Ltd., on Friday in Lagos. Adebayo said that the operators businesses went under due to the economic and operational challenges inherent in the industry. He said that as at 2006, ALTON had 35 members, but between 2007 to date, its members had reduced to 14. According to him, if care is not taken, more service providers might still close shop before the end of year. The ALTON Chairman said that the operators which had exited the Nigerian telecommunications space include Multilinks, Starcomms and O’Net. “The economic challenges include poor power generation, multiple taxation, exorbitant Right of Way levies, insecurity and over-regulation among others. “The operational issues are anti-competition and lack of fund to roll out,” he said. Adebayo said that the cost of getting the Right of Way was over 60 per cent of the total amount to putting up the infrastructure. He said that within the last five months, the surviving operators lost over 20,000 batteries to theft and vandals at their base stations. The ALTON Chairman said that some of the batteries, according to investigations carried out, were sold to some inverter operators in the country. Adebayo called on government at all levels to protect the sector because of its immense contribution to the growth of the economy. “Until we are able to classify the telecommunications infrastructure as Critical National Infrastructure, the problems will persist. “There should be sanction of long term prison service for vandals of telecommunications infrastructure. If there is severe sanction, it will serve as deterrent,” he said. 1 Like

85% of this boils down to failure of our government. Even the NCC who claim to regulate things in this sector are regulating their pockets. To the poster above me. You wan chop ban. How did you get data to move from one thread to another? Pray to God for help. Even many nairalanders like me are broke. 12 Likes 1 Share |

sanandreas: LOL. I know understand why foreigners complain so much about in-your-face advertising one is forced to watch. It's just obvious that the MODs don't do what they are paid to do. It should be part of their job descriptions. There shouldn't be such an advert on at least the first 2 pages. Every time a post is to be pushed to FP, the MOD checks and instantly bans such an account.... Back to the story...it's simply survival of the fittest. Those companies went under because they didn't do their market surveys well. They underestimated the dynamics of the market place. 2 Likes |

samtee37:Actually these were the reasons. It's a business, and in business you stay to make profits now think of those ones with all the freebies and see how they closed shop. Starcomms, Multilinks and the likes. The siphoning wasn't funny but our failed government put it upon us. |
