While I am not much of an MTN fan, I submit that if there is any company with the type of aggressiveness that NITEL needs, it is MTN. I hope they win the bid.

lets wait and
see@ll, where are the night owl 2day or what do u call them...but me think Mtn shouldn't b allowed to acquire Nitel bcos if they do they are wont to monopolise the Migerian telecom sector and that will b too baaad.

@demmy: No way they can succeed at that. But one good point about what you said is on competition.
If someone other than MTN gets it, that's one extra player in the market, and probably fresh funding, a new game plan, and a different approach to service delivery.
Ok; I hope MTN does not get it!

Well, let me add my two kobo's worth, I think that it is more important that Nitel is bought for a competitive amount by a competent operator than worrying too much about who buys it. It is more important to strenghten NCC to act as it has,in the main, as an able regulator.
On the other hand, MTN just rubs me up the wrong way. Don't ask me why, they just do.
Ever since AYA config my glo direct onto my p910, it has worked quite well. I was on for about three hours yesterday. So thats AYA 2 : Glo 1...erm I think.
Is it just me or are there fewer cyber cafe's about nowadays. The bouble has burst?

My counsel to cybercafe operators is to begin to diversify. People are getting private internet access on the PTOs and GloMobile more than ever before, so cafe patronage will drop.
I go to cafes only once in a while now for different reasons. But certainly not because I lack personal access to the Net. Infact with my 9500, I have 24/7 access to email, Web and WAP. There is very little I need to do -
very, very little - that I cannot do on it.
And to think that most people only use the Net for email and IM. Give them a smartphone and Glo and there are good to go.
Meanwhile, I am still yet to meet
one person who uses Vmobile and Mtel GPRS. Anyone?

Talking of cyber cafe's...how much do they charge per hour in Naija? In Cape Town the ones operated by Somali immigrants charge just under US$1 an hour. Pretty cheap.

Most cafes here charge N100 per hour or less. Pretty much in the same range, seeing that's just under $1 per hour as well.
