MTN will be launching its 4G LTE Network in selected
Nigerian cities in July. They are going to do this by using the 800MHz
frequency they secured from CDMA network, Visafone earlier this year.
At the end of
this year, they should have about 1,500 LTE sites transmitted with fibre
optics cables.


According to MTN CEO, Mr. Ferdinand Moolman, Visafone subscribers
will port to the MTN network so they can clean up their
frequency and launch the LTE services.
The chosen cities for this launch have been selected as a result of
MTN’s analysis of data usage across the country. They haven’t
disclosed what cities these are so we’ll just have to wait and
see.
While it’s great that a top Telecommunications mobile network is
releasing LTE services in
Nigeria, I’m just wondering why they didn’t release this
earlier. Nigeria is definitely one of their largest markets but it seems
they
Think quite low about us.




MTN already launched LTE services in other
countries like Cameroon Rwanda and Uganda when Nigeria has more
MTN subscribers than the 3 countries put together, they've finally
“decided” to launch here.
I know, maybe the whole friction & feud with the NCC left MTN a bit
sore,
but still. I’m just wondering if this has to do with the launch of Ntel
which launched their LTE service in April , and they don’t want to
be left behind. Other Networks will have to join Soon to keep up with
the pace. This will probably mark the evolution of 4g in Nigeria

Someone should tell ntel to go back to the drawing board.

ntel needs to readdress its SWOT & PESTEL analysis. We do not see them excelling with the current strategies and data plans. The telecommunication industry is strictly competitive.

While the network hitherto thrived on the platform of "buy naija to grow naija", Nigerians would not forfeit affordability for patriotism. Even the Nigerian government had to partner with Chinese firms for cost effective roads.

Hmmm

Mtn don vex sha. Better for them, if not in few years they would be parking their bags..

I hope delta state is among the selected states oh.

Smh for Nigeria networks on. They just wanna roll out 4G in 2016 when 5G is currently been tested in some again countries. Half loaf is better than none tho but this late upgrading of services is meaningless despite paying huge sum.

If other network allows MTN to be the first again to luanch LTE then they don't have future to be the number one

as them don realize sey dem dey lose customers
chai!! MTN sharp guys!!

the results of healthy competition....

2000 sim card was 50k now its almost free 2000 per minute call was 50naira now its less than 20naira

more innovations and competitions brings better economic growth
