3G mobile tech in Nigeria? That'll be asking for too much. All MTN need do is ensure that their soon to be launched GPRS service is efficient and affordable, add an attractive homepage, and they're home n dry.

Yesterday MTN reported just under a billion dollars in profit for the year. Most it coming from South Africa and Nigeria.

3rd parties? Exploit? There's no way that MTN will allow another company to piggyback on it's network to provide services which it's capable of providing. Have you written letters to them asking they haven't launched GPRS yet?
Infairnessto MTN, they do allow such. Mtech provides MTNN's WAP service and some other VAS.
As for writing them, forget the idea. You will NEVER get a response. I have written and gotten none.
@amby: Do you have inside information backing your statement about MTN's "soon-to-be-launched GPRS"?

@Aya: No inside info on MTN's GPRS, but the fact that GPRS presence is noticeable on the MTN network gives credence to the belief that something is in the offing in that regard.

Yes; I am of the same opinion on that. Well, we wait...

Vmobile has posted information about its GPRS-based services on its website. Not impressive, in my opinion.
Too many restictions. Imagine having to download software to your smartphone to be able to use GPRS - and only some smartphones! Even then, you still dont get Web access. just email and synchronisation. Bah!

@AYA: Wait till the Vodacom/Virgin consortium takes over and Vmobile will definitely be offering better data products.

Very disappointing! What percentage of Vmobile subscribers own smartphones, and what percentage of these actually use their phone's features other than for voice calls, sms or as status symbols? Vmobile's target market is quite limited. Moreover, why would I want to sync via GPRS when I can do it for free using bluetooth or data cable?

I have a hunch they know what they are doing. The system resources that would have to be dedicated to GPRS if there were to be no restrictions would probably make their whole network even more unstable.
I am more concerned with the awoof promtions they have on
How have you guys been?
