Confirming the report, Head of Region Sub-Saharan
Africa at Ericsson, Fredrik Jejdling said the findings would enable service
providers to begin to consider expanding their internet broadband capacities,
towards mobile broadband, so as to meet up with the increase in demand for
mobile broadband that is expected.
He added that, “More Nigerians are beginning to
use the mobile broadband services more than ever before, to upload and download
contents and information, through the social media, while on the move.”
The study highlights the underlying desires of telecoms
consumers, as well as their perceptions of current telecoms operations and
services.
ITRealms gathered that in achieving this,
it made use of data compiled through a total of 1,653 one-on-one interviews
with Nigerians between the ages of 15 to 59 years, with a research sample
representing 30 million people between social classes in metropolitan areas,
which represent about 40 percent of Nigeria’s urban population.
It further revealed that 56 per cent of mobile
phone users are satisfied with data speed and voice connection quality, while
over 50 per cent of those who switch between fixed and mobile broadband, do so
due to changing locations or the availability of connections.
To enable internet
service providers meet up with the expected rise in the demand for mobile
broadband services, ITRealms gathered that stake
holders in the ICT sector has called on the government to act fast to increase
broadband deployment in all nooks and crannies of Nigeria.
