Are they coming to lay a new submarine cable or latching on to existing one?

MASTAkiLLAh:
Lets see if the powers that be will allow you shake their table.

Advent of gsm in Nigeria, MTN & Econet started at N50 per minute with various silly excuses, a third player owned by Mike Adenuga came on board and promised N10 per minute. They gave him a faulty spectrum capable of sending him through Nigeria’s lenghty and expensive judicial labyrinth for years. Baba had to pipe low.

TSTV came along with pay per view and other goodies, shaking the table of DSTV. The company has been frustrated into silence and they'll only rear their ugly head when DSTV and Nigerian politicians allow them to come up for air.

There are many other instances but these two will let you know you cant just shake the table and introduce innovations without taking permission from those at the top

Freestainworld:
Internet will become one of the cheapest commodity in Nigeria in time to come

Mysticwebb:
They should start first, every concept looks splendid in theory until practical challenges set in.

sofiscatedmoron:
internet is everywhere in Nigeria already

bluefilm:
Unless they are going to build their own fiberoptics.

'cause if they are relying on the existing networks to provide them with such services, then they will be forced to play by the rules.

if you're in any doubts, just look at what Google, Apple and Amazon did to Parler

manikspears:
Just hope it won't end like tstv

Abilistic:
They should have first start their operation and clash the data prices before announcing it.

Trust our GREEDY tech giants to go after them.

TSTV comes to mind

In ur Village and Hamlets?

SavageMaster:


Those were local companies, as in owned by Nigerians. This one is a "global player". I hope they can match the powers that be, and carve out a niche for themselves

gaddafe:


About your first example, Mtn and Econet original charges started with about N80 and it later reduced to 60 naira when Nitel entered the GSM. The GLO you are talking about shook the table by starting per second billing. Something MTN had earlier said was impossible. I was surprised when they moved to per second billing otherwise they would have been history by now.

About your second example, don't think it's over because from the look of things those guys(TSTV) have the support of the Nigerian Legislators. Anything can still happen. In the line of business, there is a lot of politics at play.

Stallion93:
If they’re not talking unlimited internet at nothing more than 1,500naira, we don’t want them.

Phyde:

TSTV is back with nice HD stations but yet to give us epl and other league matches on their sport stations.

edoairways:

Exactly! Parler is not functioning well because of those tech giants

QueenVaji:


i have tried to understand the parler stuff..can u enlighten me a bit

bluefilm:


The monstrous entity called Big Tech comprising of Google, Apple, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc, decided that Parler is allowing views that instigate violence on the Parler website and app.

Parler said that they stand for free speech and as such they are not going to restrict anything anyone says on their site and they are not going to block Donald Trump and his MAGA followers like facebook, Twitter and Instagram has done.

Google and apple host the Parler app on their Stores while amazon provides hosting services to Parler website.

So since Parler didn't want to play by the rules spelt out by the Satanic big Tech, big Tech subsequently kicked Parler out of existence!

The Parler CEO said they will be back.

But when...?
