The above fact reflects the poor reading culture of Nigerian. With this kind of statistics…hw soon can we expect to see Nigerians putting up local content on the web when we can’t even consume…

Ghana does have descent Internet connectivity but from what I hear, this seems to be concentrated in Accra and it’s immediate environs. The situation is not so different from here in Nigeria. You can only get descent Internet connectivity (without breaking the bank) when you’re resident in the big cities. I guess it’s really a matter of economic forces. With time and when personal will is applied, we’ll see descent connectivity spreading across the country especially with the initiative the NCC is taking to roll out broadband services this year.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Concerning the city-wide Internet, I have been nursing desires to visit that city some time and witness it for myself. If or when I do get to do so, I’ll blog about it.

The MTN Corporate exec’s mobile session is esp interesting. ARPU wss very high 3 or so yrs ago in Ghana until competition forced voice rates down. To increase ARPU they need data, but they put barriers in the way.

I don’t mean to bash but MTN Ghana requires GHC 5 of prepaid credit for GPRS activation to ‘kick in’ (it used to be an actual registration fee). I’m going to get a monthly data plan for GHC 30 with max speeds of abt 12Kbps.

With Klustrs.com one of our major challenges will be ‘demystifying’ so our mobile version’s convenience will sell itself. I keep having to repeat everywhere that an email costs less than SMS.

I think NCC’s ‘sharing is good’ policy is terrific. Never made sense why every MNO needs their own ‘stuff’

Free city wide internet! Is Kobbychuku a fashionable name in Naija cos I may just move there. LOL
