Nigeria: Visible Increase In Internet Subscriptions… by BrandSpurNG: 9:21pm On Feb 27, 2018 |
The latest data released by the NCC, the industry regulator, show that internet subscriptions stood at 98.4 million in December, representing y/y growth of 7.1%. The figure implies a density of 53% in a population estimated at 185 million, placing Nigeria well above the African average of around 16% as indicated by McKinsey. In December there were 3.6 million new internet subscriptions recorded, compared with 931,000 the previous month. The m/m increase recorded in total internet subscriptions could be loosely linked to increased patronage of dual-SIM mobile phones; sometimes both SIMs are connected to separate data packages.MTN accounted for the largest share (37%) of total subscriptions. Meanwhile, Globacom and Airtel accounted for 27% and 24% respectively. The latter recorded a m/m increase of 3.9%.9mobile (formerly Etisalat) suffered subscription losses for the seventh successive month. The operator recorded 68,000 subscription losses in December, compared with 180,000 in November. The reduced slippage may be due to the introduction of a new data package (“more blaze”), which was created to deliver a faster and more reliable internet usage experience for customers within its network. To deepen broadband penetration and by extension boost internet subscriptions, the NCC plans to facilitate the re-farming of existing spectrums held by operators (without impacting their quality of service delivery). Additionally, the commission will auction the 2.5/2.6 gigahertz (GHz) spectrum for fourth generation (4G) long-term evolution (LTE) capacity requirements later this year.Broadband penetration is currently 21%; the FGN targets a penetration of 30% by end-2018.

Just as I predicted. Nigerians use the internet a lot, They depend on it, It's the only avenue for them to vent their frustrations. They criticize their failed leaders only on the internet yet worship them when they see them in person. Without the internet, there'd be more mad people on the streets. Only when the internet subscription drops will there be a revolution against bad leadership in the country called Nigeria. You'd also be shocked to realize that a third of these subscribers use the internet only to surf porn, gamble on BetNaija, idolize celebrities on social media and find easy hookups. Gone are the days when the internet was solely for researching, networking and for job and scholarship hunts. 68 Likes 5 Shares |

How will it not increase, when there is a need to be online for most businesses and the network's data is expensive and they literally swallow the data whenever you're online |

If you do a map of this Internet penetration density, the northerners will be lowest but somehow they seem to head most government owned parastatals That's why they are always against anything that will upset their vice grip on power. Restructuring they say NO, proper census NO, school NO, immunisation NO 4 Likes |

The reason is obvious. With the declining state of the economy and bleak financial prospects of the future, the only way one can insure himself or herself against financial woes is investing in internet business. It is affordable and easy to set up and that is why it is fast becoming a popular means of avoiding poverty and, not surprisingly, it has gained more interests in this Buhari era. This excludes those who are into cyber crime. I am talking about legitimate online businesses. 1 Like |

Suprnov3r:are you kidding me First off, this thread was about the increase on data usage, and you brought tribe to it.. Secondly, I, like every other sensible Nigerian know what's going on in the country and really can't wait for 2019 to oust this administration, but you don't see us posting our comments on unrelated threads as you just did...use your head man, I believe that you're sensible enough to not just be an online troll because I never insulted you from my comment 3 Likes |
