Nigeria is never an ideal environment for start ups speaking from experience. It costs more to initialize a business but once you can withstand the storms and survive the first three years you've struck gold! Give a Nigerian the right environment and tools, you see them dance amongst the stars. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Lies.The generator that powers telecom base stations conserve diesels a lot.It is not that the generators powers heavy equipment in the base stations.I know a base station close to my house and it's not everyday that they refuel the generator.They come at least one's or twice in a month depending on the number of days or weeks phcn retain power. |

socialmediaman: what are you talking about by the way, telcos don't pay taxes, their customers do. Tax them more, MTN will get the money from you. |

jnrbayano: A good number of greenfield sites are linked to the power grid, at least almost all those I was involved in constructing. The problem, at least in such cases is the lack of power supply through the dedicated transformers, making the operators resort to burning diesel to keep the stations up. Nice PR job anyway. Big Boss Clem will be happy to see this. |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by mykel010(m): 9:33pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
I really doubt they spend up to that. Most Tower housing BTS have a Hybrid Inverter there, which runs for 12hours(assuming there isn't any power supply within that same duration) and then the Gennie automatically comes back on(if there isn't any power supply then),thereby charging the batteries to be efficient for another 12hours. Be it as it may, should they be spending such an amount even after installation of Hybrid Inverters, then that's some.huge expenditure(altho they are making waaaaaaaaaay more than that everyday via transmission and coverage). 1 Like |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by Nobody: 9:36pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
firstly..dis writeup is flawed because i can state categorically that not all towers run on diesel for 24hrs. Most operate on a hybrid power system interchanges power supply between Solar, Generators and domestic power. Secondly dis writeup did not take into count the operating cost of each telecom company or are we supposed to split the amount among all the Telco's Finally......with millions of subscriber buying nothing less than 100 recharge vouchers daily...im sure that daily expense is well taken care of. who are we kidding here??.....iv seen beggars on the street with telephones!! 2 Likes |

Don't believe them they are inflating the figures it is a big lie. If so why cant they invest in solar and other sources of energy if they have common sense. |

atlwireles: @ the bolded, Who taught you that? http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/97511/37/nigerian-mobile-operators-pay-35-tax-report.html Back to topic, what i meant was, they spend billions generating their own electricity using petrol and diesel, just like Nigerians also spend billions or even trillions nationwide daily generating their own electricity, which means our petrol pump stations and oil marketers are earning billions and trillions, yet our tax system doesn't capture much of this money being sank into the oil sector consumption |

bushdoc9919:Fine but.. MTN has 70million subscribers. On the average, they recharge 100 naira daily. 100 × 70,000,000 = 7,000,000,000(1 billion naira) daily 1 billion × 30 days = 30 billion naira. Trust they've got to be making one hell of a profit. Else they'll fold up. |
Re: See How Much Telecom Tower Operators Spend Daily To Power BTS by sniper77(m): 9:58pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
bushdoc9919: Doc its not just about nigeria. These telecom firms rip us off consistently with their rates. The excuse of power supply is tenable but the truth is they carry out their surveys before investing in any country considering all pros and cons.What about a country like Ghana that has power supply that is more stable than Nigeria.In Ghana the rates are high as well. Believe me doc these telcos make enough profit.We the subscribers absorb the effect. |
