Nigeria Set To Displace Sa As Africa’s Largest Mobile Market

With a fast-growing market, it could be a good time to look into the potential of 3G and certainly the Nigerian Communications Commission seems to feel that way. It held a consultation with the country’s operators recently to discuss the allocation of 40MHz of FDD spectrum - and relevant TDD-spectrum pairings - for the deployment of 3G services in April. A spectrum tender is likely to follow in mid-2007.

This opens up a big investment haven in Nigeria.

Telecomms business, anyone?
