Research and Markets: Nigeria - Broadband and Internet Market, Digital Economy - 2012
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/16f714e0/nigeria_broadban) has announced the addition of the "Nigeria - Broadband and Internet Market, Digital Economy" report to their offering.
Significant consolidation has occurred in Nigeria's Internet and broadband sector, from over 400 ISPs three years ago to around 130 in early 2012. New powerful players from the fixed-wireless and mobile network operator camps have entered the market with 3G mobile and advanced wireless broadband services such as WiMAX. The Internet Protocol (IP)-based next generation networks currently being rolled out are enabling converged voice, data/Internet and video services. VoIP is already carrying the bulk of Nigeria's international voice traffic. The arrival of a second international submarine fibre-optic cable (Glo-1) in 2009 and a third in 2010 (Main One) has broken the monopoly of Nitel's notorious SAT-3/WASC cable and is revolutionising the market by reducing the cost of international bandwidth by up to 90%. Two additional cables are expected to go online in 2012. Supported by the expansion of several competing national fibre backbone networks, applications such as e-commerce, online banking and e-payments, e-health, e-learning and e-government are rapidly evolving.
