Princeofnigeria:
Lol nothing works in this godforsaken country watch out now till 2019 it's gonna be a thing of the past.


I pray this project fails.

If you doubt me how far about freebasics?

Colourich:
Let me give you a detailed analysis of the impact of this recent development. Its understandable that you are worried about this recent happening, but truth is, this free WiFi is not situated in all states of the FRN, its only few states that will enjoy the social benefit of this wifi. I believe this wifi being a substitute product/good is in no way putting other competitive firms at a loss because the country has 36 states and the 36 states are not all using the free wifi. It can create jobs in the sense that it reduces a company's expenditure on data subscription especially if a company is situated at the place where this wifi is located, this will reduce costs for the company and that cost reduction will in turn lead to an additional employment of labour in the firm. This free wifi no matter how you make constructive criticism about it is a good development, not just for the individuals but for the economy as a whole. It can also create job for someone who decides to open a cyber cafe within the free wifi area, the person will obviously make money without paying a dim for the data subscription and this will lead to increase in income and increase in per capita income is good for the growth of the economy. Don't also forget that this free wifi will lead to a general reduction of price of data subscription by network providers, this in turns help people go online to promote their businesses and firm. Tell me how this won't make a significant impact in the economy's real GDP.

Google Rolls Out Free Wi-Fi In Nigeria



By Oluwatobi Opusunju

Google has rolled out free fast speed Wi-Fi stations across Lagos. The Internet giant plans to extend the roll out to four more cities across Nigeria by 2019 as part of its commitments to support Nigerian startups and help grow the country’s bourgeoning vibrant tech scene.

This was made known this week at the Google For Nigeria event in Lagos. According to the tech giant, about 200 Google Stations will be rolled out across the five cities to make the WI-Fi connectivity accessible to millions of Nigerians.

The other cities expected to experience the roll out of the Google Stations before year-end are Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and Kaduna.

Google said sites where the Wi-Fi hotspots will be installed are markets, transport hubs, shopping malls, universities and other places with high population density.

The company also announced it was extending its Street Views into seven more cities Nigeria cities while the rest of Lagos state will be covered. Google Street Views will now be available in where the service is available in Kano, Ibadan, Kaduna, Port Harcourt, Benin City, Abuja and Onitsha.

At the moment, the Wi-Fi connectivity is currently available at about five significant locations in Lagos. They are Ikeja City Mall (ICM), Computer Village, MMA2 Domestic Airport, The Palms Mall and Landmark center. Plans to roll out in more locations across Nigeria will further bring the Internet access home to millions of Nigeria.

Country Director, Google Nigeria, Juliet Chiazor described the development as channel to help Nigerians and people in Africa better leverage the many opportunities on the internet.

“Today, at our second Google for Nigeria event, we announced more products and programs to help more people in Nigeria and across Africa benefit from the opportunities the web has to offer,” she said.

“We’re announcing Google Station for Nigeria: a program to provide high-quality, high-speed Wi-Fi hotspots in partnership with 21st Century, one of the largest fiber network providers in Nigeria.

“Google Station will be rolling out in 200 locations in five cities across Nigeria by the end of 2019, bringing Wi-Fi to millions of people,” she added. She also reckoned that the initiative would help address issues of affordability and access to data as well as broadband penetration.

Nigeria’s broadband penetration is only 22 percent. Government is aiming to up the figure to 30 percent by year end to further deepen the penetration.

Similarly Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai commenting on the initiative on his Twitter page, said “Excited, we’re expanding Google Station to Nigeria, helping to make the internet more accessible to everyone with free wifi hotspots rolling out through the next year #GoogleForNigeria.”

Nigeria is the fifth country where the Google Station will be launched, after India, Indonesia, Thailand and Mexico.

Imagine what I will be doing from dawn to dusk on pørnhub and xvideøs with this free Google wifi.

If you feel like Google will be creating so much unemployment with this latest development, then you are free to join me in using this Google wifi judiciously.

My only hope and prayer right now is for the Google wifi to be very fast... I mean, superfast!!!
