Bandwidth glut, absence of national backbone, bane of cable companies
Submarine cable companies in Nigeria are currently facing bandwidth glut if feelers from some stake- holders in the ICT industry are anything to go by.
The problem ensued due to lack of a national telecommunication, backbone infrastructure provider.
The present irony is that in a country where Main One and Glo1 have joined the SAT3, the living remains of NITEL, to provide broadband Inter-net access, access has not been as less expensive as was expected to be, according to a view expressed by Mrs Funke Opeke, CEO, Main One Cable while speaking recently on an interview session on the Cable News Network (CNN) reported by ATCONNEWS.
