The table above, gives an overview of the internet subscription growth in the Nigeria telecoms industry, an overview of the GSM operators. This data is exclusive of the few broadband 4GLTE service providers just springing up in 2014. As soon as their data is available, I will make it available.
The Highlight shows that Year- Year between 2013 and 2014 September, the subscription grew by 24%, best performer being GLOBALCOM, followed by Airtel in the second place when you look at rate of increase . MTN remains the main dominant player with a total volume of 38.6M representing an increase of 24% over September of 2013. The lowest growth rate is of course ETISALAT over the period in question. Which may be a reflection of the perception of quality of the data service provided by ETISALAT from the subscribers’ perspective.

While some ...

In view of the recent breaches in our national security through various bombings and explosion, it is important that we look at some issues that can easily become a tool in the hands of terror networks to enhance their operations. The essence of this write-up is to create the necessary alert to the dangers these devices pose to national security. In 2002, a Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM) released a smartphone BlackBerry, which supported push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services. One of the most significant features of this smartphone was its extreme security in messaging through advanced encryption techniques. This extreme security implemented by BlackBerry services is now in news for risking national security in some of its fastest growing markets like UAE, Saudi Arabia and India. In its statement, the company explained that data on its BlackBerry Enterprise Server network is encrypted so that no one...
