A total of 48.3 million telephone subscribers actively browse the Internet on their mobile phones, investigations have shown.

Statistics obtained from the Nigerian Communications Commission on Friday showed that Internet subscriptions through the telecommunications operators increased by 26.44 per cent between May 31 and June 30, 2013.
Active Internet subscription as of the endof June, but it was, however, 16.29 per cent less than the total Internet mobile subscriptions.

At the end of June, a total of 57.7 million telephone subscribers had Internet subscription, although only 48.3 million were active subscribers.
This means that a total of 9.4 million Internet subscriptions were inactive.
At the end of May, the active mobile Internet subscription stood at 38.2 million. This means that within a period of one month (between May and June), 10.1 million active subscribers started using the Internet on their phones, a difference of 26.44 per cent.

The total subscription at the end of May, however, stood at 44.69 million. This translates to an inactive population of 6.49 million subscribers or a ratio of 14.52 per cent.

With an active subscription of 24.5 million, MTN Nigeria Communications Limited had the largest mobile Internet subscription rate at the end of June. This means that 50.72 per cent of all mobile Internet subscribers as of June 30 were hooked to the MTN network.

This should be in the phones section.

However, it's a great news that most people will now have access to infos. But the funny thing is that, most girls and few guys will only facebook, do BBM chat, 2go and will let the remaining bunch/chunk of massive data go with the wind on expiration.

They won't even download novels, read articles, news or better still download songs.

And so what ?
Why wouldn't it be on phone in this kind of country.

*How much be the price of laptops were you think say most students can afford ?

* How many hours of PHCN electricity do we have in our cities compared to the hours a laptop battery can last without power ?

*How much of Govt policy is channel to regulate the activities of cyber cafe in order to benefits the massive & students ?

Phone browsing is a freedom, affordable, and personally controlable; my laptops has even become a desktop @ home.

....with the amazing figures in the numbers of the subscribers, yet, all the networks in Nigeria are still "tight fitted". There should be more promo to their loyal customers.

Niger rich businessman, always want to make money without giving back to the people. O ga ooo.

The increase in the number of subscribers coincided with the introd uction of number portability which may also partly account for the high number of inactive subscribers. The possibility that the increase could also be due to individuals acquiring more lines to browse with should be considered as the report did not describe the subscribers as "unique".
