Telecoms Mast
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Saturday said that active lines in the nation’s telecommunications industry reduced to 150,660,631 in the month of September.

The commission made this known in its Monthly Subscriber Data which was obtained by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
NAN reports that active lines in the country which was 151,018,624 for the month of August, reduced to 150,660,631 as at September 2015.
With the reduction in number, service providers in the industry lost a total of 357,993 subscribers.

According to the data, the Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) network which had 148,708,160 in August, was now left with 148,427,043 active customers in September.

The GSM network operators, which comprises MTN, Airtel, Globacom and Etisalat, lost 276,117 users, in the month under review.
The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operators lost 83,926 active users, as their 2,125,941 customers recorded in the month of August reduced to 2,042,015 in September.

However, the monthly subscriber data showed that the Fixed Wired/Wireless networks’ consumers increased to 191,573 as against 189,523 in August, hence, they added 2,050 customers to their networks in the month of September.

The chart revealed that the teledensity of the country’s telecommunications industry also reduced by .26 per cent, from 107.87 per cent in the month of August, to 107.61 per cent in September.

NAN reports that the teledensity statistics measure the percentage of a country’s population with access to telecommunications services, as determined from the subscriber base.

Nigeria’s teledensity is currently calculated by the NCC on a population of 140 million people.

NAN also reports that the reduction in the number of active subscribers in the month of September is as a result of the instruction given to operators by the NCC in August, to deactivate improperly registered SIM cards.

too bad

Change had also gripped the telcos.

I know this dwindling economic fortune is for a while. I'm optimistic

J

Bad news everywhere

k

isalrite

LOL...AUSTERITY!!!!

Another sad news...whats happenning?

It's simple. Those were the number of sim cards dropped the moment MTN stopped that 33k bonus awoof. For us Nigerians, an economic slow down doesn't reflect when it pertains to telephone and the related. How are we to feel it when most of us were born grinding at that tender age already? Pikin wey dem born and raise under heat conditions no dey miss AC.

Plenty Plenty Matter Just Dey worry This Our Country Seff. Mtcheew

What did we do to deserve this, just bad news from every where, why did God punish us with PMB?

What is the cause of all these?

I have been quiet on this forum because i voted PMB and campaigned for him...its obvious, the agenda was simple. To get power back to the north...He had no economic blue print wheresoever..His advicers are also not telling him the truth about the state of the economy......my mouth is sticky because i have followed economic trends since this man took over.

Guys, let no facade decieve you. Our economy is at a brink.

Mass sack in banking industry looms first quarter of next year because of TSA. Every banker knows that TSA emptied banks. And for every bamker sacked, it affects 15people dependent on him.

Investors confidence is eroding

Recession is knocking at our door.

Telcom, banking, Finance, oil and gas are all confused on where we are headed

We need a fiscal policy expert asap.

Brace up people for what is ahead.

the havoc ncc is making is more than the benefit to consumers. Ncc regulating d price of services provided without condisering how it benefit the consumers.God help us.

hmm. NCC well done. I like as them dey flog all these service providers for yash

Ok

The question is why did subscribers reduce?

1. Registration of lines.

2. Gradual switching of ppl from phone call useage to online chats, skype,watsapp. Etc

.....

No shaking. We are on top of the situation

Owners of multiple SIMs dropping them?

I see change every where

One day, we'll develop our witchcraft communication system and stop patronizing GSM networks. MTN would be the first to crumble

Too many kids on NL.
