Posted June 1, 2010

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0ccee4/nigeria_converge) has announced the addition of the "Nigeria - Convergence, Broadband and Internet Market" report to their offering.

Significant consolidation has occurred in Nigeria's Internet and broadband sector, from over 400 ISPs three years ago to around 150. 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 broke the monopoly of Nitel's notorious SAT-3/WASC cable and is set to revolutionise the market by reducing the cost of international bandwidth by up to 90%. 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.
