Are there any companies in Nigeria offering WIMAX. . ?

You are talking from the point of view of your needs. I think we all are.
You think 50kbps is enough until you have it. . .
The more access you have the more your requirements grow?

You can't tell me someday soon you won't want to run a company of your own.
If for example you have a small company you are building that porvides services to Nigerians in the diaspora, you probably will want to set up a website(to display your goods), an office(for geogrphical prescence), a few computers and internet access on all the computers. . .

You may think of extending your services to the east of Nigeria and the North  . . You open offices, you have computers in the east, North and Lagos. . . You want internet access on all pcs. . . . A consultant tells you deploying VOIP will help save the cost of trunk calls between your offices. . You need internet (at the least, without going into complex stuff)

Then someone in the US likes your services, contacts their people in the UK about meeting up with you. . You all agree to meet using a video over IP while you make a presentation to them. . . 

How then do you think a 50kbps will suffice?

Maybe by then, all these issues will be solved. . .

Anelka is 31 and extended for 4 yrs, Ballack is 33 and cant get a 2yr extension which would have kept both at the club till age 35

Alright just say it, Chelsea hate Germans. . .

Yes 18m . . . and that, my people is a lot of money for players we can afford to dispose.
And the estimated wage savings from letting Carvalho, Deco and PF go is estimated at about 12m.

We really can afford to let these players go . . and have wage savings of about 30m.

Replacements:-

Bruma for Carvalho.
Hutchinson for PF.
Kakuta for Deco.
Matic for Ballack
Sturridge for Joe. .

Thus reducing the average age of the squad - with players who under contract anyway.
I believe this is a massive business decision and at this point in time, a very positive one.

Stoch did not sign a new contract. . .
What I heard was that he wanted guarantee of a starting place . .
How could he?

Having said that, this is the worst deal we've made. . . Dude will be worth 20m in 3 years. .

netotse:
sey it's cos we dont have an internet exchange here?

Primarily because your internet access to ISP is not on cable . . .
Your ISP backbone is across the Atlantic. . . None within the country.
They can't offer mind blowing speeds. .

In Japan, it's a normal thing for people to have 30Mbps connection to ISP . .
What Glo will offer is Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) . . .
Many people will even be able to request Fibre to the Premise (FTTP). . . I am talking blinding speeds that make broadband access in the UK look like pre-world war data communications.

While I am not trying to paint the Main One access as inconsequential to the situation now. . . Glo is the only company for now that will bring the evolution. . .

Evil Brain:
What happened in East Africa after they got their cable last year was that speeds improved immediately, but the price only started falling about 6 months after the cable came online. Expect the same to happen here.

We are looking from different angles. . .
If you want to browse a google page, you'll get there is a few seconds with the sub cable.
If you want to access your Nigerian bank account on-line if the server is hosted in the bank in Lagos . . . it'll be the same speed you experience now.
The quality of your skype audio and video calls to me will improve significantly. . . but a skype call to your pals in Lagos will stay the same. . .
That's what you get with an ISP that is only a gateway.

Ibime:
Forget it. . . .Gourcuff would never play for Carlotti again. . . .

Absolutely. . .
Only if he is an extraordinary gentleman. . and wants to join the champions of course.

dayokanu:
Of course 25m is a joke from a club who paid 24 million for SWP.

Bastian currently one of Europes best midfielder should go for nothing less than 40m

Bros . . That Chelsea does not exist any more. . .
The Chelsea you should look at is today's.
The Chelsea that won't give Ballack two years' contract despite taking a wage cut.
And the Chelsea that won't give Joe £100k a week for the sake of it. . .

Bayern may have been able to get £25m from anyone dumb enough to pay so four weeks ago.
After last week's UEFA ruling, all clubs will come to their football senses.

No club in Europe is making any silly transfer any more.

Bastian 40m? Hehehe . . . Except you are talking Lira . .
In pounds, you are having a loud laugh!

This just goes to say there's nothing like loyalty left in football.
How Joey even wants a pay-rise baffles me.
Thanks for all the good times at the Bridge Joe. . .

I will never forget the 2nd of a 3-goal mauling of Utd to retain the title in 06. .
Good luck wherever you go next.

I am a newcomer in the field of networking.My desire to become a CISCO expert made me go out in search of a CISCO academy(meridian technologies=APTECH) and I was lucky to find one close to where I live.The training is expected to last for four months.I am a little bit confused,I am not sure if four months is enough to really tutor me on all the topic areas of CCNA(640-802).I would like to get your expert opinion on this issue.Thanks

Four months only prepare you for passing the exams.
Four months are only the beginning of a wild journey.
This is not supposed to discourage you. . . Only to make you understand CCNA knowledge is useless to Enterprise Networks.
So the big work starts now. Your learning starts when you pass the CCNA.
Research, research, and plenty of Lab hours. . . .

And I still stand by opinion of Bastian.
£25m is a joke. . . Honestly.

Are suffering from the effects of old age?
Do you remember you argument? . . . Maybe I should remind you.

dayokanu:
Were you not arguing that Joe Cole was better than Schweinsteiger some months ago?

What has your post proven? That I said Joe is better than he is?

dayokanu:
Were you not arguing that Joe Cole was better than Schweinsteiger some months ago?

The ones he did that makes Assene wenGAY cream over him

Can you fetch the post where I said so?

You sure are mixing me with someone else?
Na m dey always criticize Joe's leg-overs. . .

dayokanu:
Joke Maradona-Pele Cole, Nateevs mentor on the way to Assanal

Are you smoking Silicon?
How did you come about the Nateevs' mentor?

Bros . . Wrong thread !!

I have never been this terrified. . .
Their forward line is unreal. . .

Where do I start from? Chei !!!!

I don't think I have suggested anywhere in my post that speeds will not improve . . .

Any news?

Hang on a sec. . .
Last time I checked out Main one, there were laying submarine cables.
And if I am not missing anything now, it remains the same.
One can conclude therefore that Main one are only going to be an international gateway.

The cost of reaching servers hosted outside the country will reduce. The cost of trunk calls will also fall.
How about the cost of reaching servers hosted in Nigeria? Cost of calls within Nigeria?

As long as there is no PSTN terminating at your doorstep, bandwidth will still not reach the expected levels with the same wireless connection to ISP as what we rely on now.
We still need Glo as far as I am concerned. ISPs can only boast of being dual homed to international traffic with the current set-up.
How about First Bank being dual-homed over the wire within Nigeria. . . ?

Glo understand there isn't much competition is why it's taken them this long. Other companies need to seize the initiative and crank up the pressure on Glo.
It's expensive but it has to be done.

Very well worked move. . .

Haruna Lukman. .
I am impressed. .

HNIC:
Omo,Haruna dey play ball,I have been following the dude,he will go places

And he's quick thinking unlike me fellow Chelsea man. . .
Why is this Nigerian commentator calling Uche Ushe?
I wish I can mute the dude. .

Nsofor is a very clumsy footballer. .
I don't understand how and why people like him. .

That's a penalty. . .
Why is the Ref supporting Naija?

Goodness Haruna is a baller. . .

Absolutely stupid. . .
