hmmmn, interesting things blogs. imagine this discussion a few years ago!

well, i dunno but i think some of the assumptions above have been proven wrong! naija factor!

anyway, i appreciate the constraints but the question remains, is the technology available actually capable of delivering genuine broadband over-the-air? i think not, but am no professional.

the way i see it progress in this wise is simply the delivery of genuine broadband to end users! i dont need 100Mbps at home, i just need to have internet that will do all i throw at it as an end user! anything short of that is a failure!

i guess now we wish we never made such a mess of nitel and all those copper cables!!!

The fiber optics is winning now in terms of price and speed. The vsat is gradually becoming old school except for rural areas.

Is there any reputable place in Lagos that a person can get fibre optics training ??

The problem with deploying fiber in Nigeria is the issue of laying the fiber cable. every ISP out there will like to lay their own cable and this will not make sense in anyway. it be much better if one or two companies will lay fiber cables all over Nigeria, rent/lease, manage and maintain it.
So if you want to offer fiber Optics service you don't need to worry about laying and maintaining cable, you just rent/lease already fiber cable in the ground.
