I disagree.

These messaging aps are used in other countries yet their telecoms sector is still very vibrant.

The problem is that these companies are not innovative. They can also expand and introduce other products such as sim only deals inclusive of minutes and data, etc.

In the UK, we have SKY. A company listed on the stock exchange. They started with providing satellite TV services before expanding into landline and broadband. Just recently, they've introduced mobile phone services offering deals for mobile phone customers.

Quite fair assessment, but I don't agree that operators are not innovative in Nigeria. The real problem is, nobody can be excellent at everything, you need to focus on your strength. This is a very different market, and there are so many extant factors. The market is very fragmented and poorly regulated (you can't just jump from voice and data into TV in Nigeria), the operators are struggling to maintain a half-decent quality of service, there is zero infrastructure so you have to build everything from scratch, and we don't have a tech base in Nigeria. We import the technology to deploy telecom in Nigeria at a significant premium, unlike markets where this technology is manufactured, and the premium is not there, or at least the premium is financed long-term.

There is also the problem of capital. While operators like MTN who are successful are using capital gained from Nigeria to expand into other markets (consequence of regulatory failures in Nigeria), other largely unsuccessful operators simply can't find the capital they need to expand (Smile, Swift, Spectranet, ntel, and others).

It's easy for Sky to build a business in England. Sky is not different from DSTV. They built their DTH TV product on BT's ADSL and fiber infrastructure, and they were reselling internet capacity from BT. Now they are buying mobile capacity from various mobile operators to resell as an MVNO, just to add to the stickiness of their product. They had all the enablers in place to tap into the residential market, and they used their advantage (Content rights) to leverage their way into the broadband business.

Why do you think DSTV is not doing what Sky is doing, or pivoting like Sky? They can see the way the telecom players are operating, and they don't want to be dragged into their mess. So they just acquire the basic technology they need (KU-Band Satellite) and distribute their content to homes. They spend their energy on what they feel they can do best (produce and license content), while they keep their tech as basic and controlled as possible. Unfortunately for the wireless network operators, it's a massive technology sinkhole, a racket being controlled by various bodies controlled by the equipment vendors. I.e. if you are not profitable on 2G, you won't be profitable on 3G, and you sure as hell stand zero chance of making it with 4G.

It's as simple as that.

I am sorry but I don't think I see any employment letter from Etisalat...legally Etisalat did not sack you.

I pray you get a new and better job soon.

God bless

Hmmm! MTN sacked about 280 staffs some hours ago and now Etisalat just joined the sacking-trend

Sorry Bro

Recession is affecting everything - what's really bad about this is that the sack wasn't officially announced - an impromptu sack

sunbilor:
I know 2 people affected by the sack. This recession is biting harder.

The origin of telecoms was basically voice then later texts and these companies enjoyed a lot of monopoly but the advent of mobile internet and smart phones especially especially Android and Iphone has enabled a different breed of giants.

Now ask yourself when was the last time you sent an sms? How many whatsapp messages have you sent this week? Was it like this 10 years ago? I called my mum on sunday after speaking to her for some few minutes I dropped, she then called back on whatsapp basically because she has a lot to say and "didn't want to waste credit". Now that's less revenue for a telecoms company, you will say but they are selling data now. Unfortunately most of this apps have been built with crazy compression algorithms that they use less data. So these telecoms companies have to pivot: find other creative ways to generate funds. MTN is currently doing that.

Would it be possible to sue and win the case?
I personally think so but i need to hear it from legal practitioners

Well ,you might be right .

But have you consider nigeria voice telcos company burying data company like ipnx ,swift ,spectranet with their 4G advertisement .

Mckayzee:


did you even know most of those companies you mentioned still get their internet services from main stream telcos company,they are subscribed to them for the services they provide too, so they are not even fit to bury them... Mainone , vodacom, VDT, Swift, spectranet, and others..

It's not recession rather it's a disruption, instant messaging apps with call and video options are gradually burying the telecoms industry. Why do you think MTN is pivoting?



You know the funny thing about this post my brother? You said you disagree but went ahead to same the same thing as me. Remember my post you quoted said "Why do you think MTN is pivoting"? The emboldened is what we call pivoting in tech so you actually agree with me you just explained it better in layman's terms.
