NigComSat(Nigerian Communication Satellite) came into the national ICT and Broadcaste(Pay TV) scenes with a lot of fanfare, promising to crash tariffs across the industries, and inspiring hope in Nigerians for cheap talk-time, internet access and pay tv. But cost of these services are still on the high side. Besides I do not seem to see NigComSat's footprints in the ICT and pay tv sectors. Please who knows the latest about their operations and their promised revolution in these sectors?

Please who is knowledgeable about this matter? I need answers.

No one has information to that effect?

People talk na.....I am waiting

NigComSat services are not targeted at individual users or retailers like us. I think it is our ICT service providers that need to reflect their services in the price offerings they give to us before we can believe NigComSat is now working as intended.

The idea is that NigComSat will make their services available at very low rates to service providers like Telcoms, ISP's and Paytv providers as against these companies importing these services at astronomical costs. They in turn are expected to offer corresponding prices to consumers. So if NigComSat is truely functioning as it should, we should be seeing call rates below #10, maybe #5/minute, data at 1k/kb and paying half of the current rate of Dstv.

Any info?
