The commission's Executive Commissioner for Stakeholder Management, Mr. Sunday Dare, said this in Abuja at an interactive session with newsmen.



The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has said the country is ready for the 5G bandwidth network for faster and efficient internet services.

This is as the commission said it will soon audit the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to determine their level of compliance with the regulation on the registration of Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards.

The commission’s Executive Commissioner for Stakeholder Management, Mr. Sunday Dare, said this in Abuja at an interactive session with newsmen.

He said the NCC had been preparing the country for it by bringing together critical stakeholders to examine the legal, regulatory and technology issues, apart from developing a roadmap.

“We have opened up consultations on spectrum for drones, etc. We are proactively leading discussions on the development of new technologies. This does not mean that we are going to discard the 2G, 3G or 4G. Each one of these levels of technologies has its benefits and the fact remains that you have to move from one level to the other,” Dare said.

On the audit of the MNOs, Dare said it was during a similar exercise in August 2015 that the regulatory body found that 5.2 million SIM cards were not properly registered by MTN Nigeria Communications Limited.

This, according to him, led to the imposition of N1.04tn fine on the mobile operator, before it was eventually reduced to N330bn. MTN completed the payment of the fine on May 24. According to him, the exercise was not to make money for the government but to ensure that prescribed processes were complied with.

Speaking on broadband penetration, the NCC official said Nigeria has met the 30 percent milestone and has publicly released the data for everyone to interrogate.

“Those who say we have not are citing old reports from the ITU. They forget that NCC provides the data that ITU uses. We are the custodians of data, and we have specialised methods of measuring. Based on empirical data, we have met and surpassed the target,” he noted.

Even d so called 4G dey claim to offer is equivalent to 3G outside d shores of dis country. Dey claim to offer 4G in few cities but it's no different from d 3G ntwrk. Which kind 3G or 4G downloads at a speed of 400kb per second

princemillla:
4G no even Dey Nija list cuz am yet to enjoy the 4G speed anywhere.

I was browsing with full 4gLTE signal yesterday and the speed is just like 3g. 4g is a 3g in disguise here... Now they want to resell 3g as 5g to us again.

See another scam. We don't even have 4G yet. It's repackaging of 3G.

Which Nigeria?

I can’t stop laughing

See another scam. We don't even have 4G yet. It's repackaging of 3G.

Add the source to it.

Yankee wey never even settle their own sef na now naija wan follow wetin e no know
You don't know what is going on

What we actually have in Nigeria is 3.5G (4G speed).

dhardline:
What we actually have in Nigeria is 3.5G (4G speed).

I though airtel was boasting of 3.75G the other time

You guys might not believe it but Nigeria has a faster mobile data than some part of USA. Fact is that most of them Yankee people use Wi-Fi but 80-90% here are on mobile. I get close to 2MB/sec on Glo which is equivalent to 16mb/sec on H+


Now check the speed and we are on par and even better than many countries. But as usual, we don't expect anything good to come out of Nigeria and are quick to rubbish whatever thing we have

5g no dey fluctuate so dem no fit bring anoda 3g.

THEY ARE JUST READY TO SIPHON MORE MONEY IN THE NAME OF 5G PROJECT.



WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THEIR MUCH TALKED ABOUT AND BUDGETED "DIGITAL SWITCH OVER"


NIGERIA IS A FAILED STATE

When will Nigeria be ready for affordable unlimited browsing?

Mr Sunday Dare should STFU and sit!! 5G kill you there.. we are using glorified 2G as 4G.. We just need power first to charge our phones, then we can talk!

Is that so?
Would have made more sense if it said
Nigeria is ready for the Chinese to come and give them 5G

When my state is yet to see 4G

Nigeria will always damble into anything.

How many people using 4G not alone 5G?

How.many phones are compatible with 4G self?

Even our 3G network is still struggling. Any network that tells u it is operating 4G is a scam. It is only in name we see 4G in Nigeria.

I'm just gonna laugh without saying anything

Na God go help me punish NCC

Nigeria 4G is equivalent to other countries GPRS and Edge.


They are now talking of 5G.
We kuku know the 5G is equivalent to 2G

4G that can't send whatsapp message, is that one 4G?

APC 5G

Glo 4G only works on the Island of Lagos
