Evolving Nigeria's telecommunications industry

The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has come a long way in a short while and is not relenting on its effort in bringing forth to the table quality and improved voice and data services to the subscribers' delight. The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has evolved tremendously. If we look back at the days of NITEL where analog communications was predominant with only a few hundred thousandth people having access to telecommunications facilities, but today we are very proud to have a vibrant digital communications system in place that offers millions of Nigerians access telecommunications services. Gone are the days when telephoning was meant strictly for the rich. Today, everyone has a right to communicate and to be communicated to on phone.
Presently broadband penetration in Nigeria is put at 40% and bookmakers say come 2018 Nigeria would witness up to 60% broadband penetration.
Telecommunications experts say the future communications lies in data telecommunications. As such, researches are continually on going in this regards to improve the face of data communications. From the initial simple 2G networks, data communications has evolved to a faster 3G technology and now to ever sophisticated 4G networks. Experts say the best is yet to come as researches are already on going into the 5G technology which researchers say would become a reality come 2020.
With a long list of expectations when this technology finally kicks off, there is no doubt that 5G networks would bring about a revolution in telecommunications industry of the world. It would be the major driving force of the much talk about about internet of things (IoTs) i.e objects possessing network connectivity as well has humans. On the surface we have seen a little of what internet of things (IoTs) can do with the invention and demonstration of self driven cars powered solely by internet of things (IoTs). Experts proclaim that even greater innovations and inventions would rock this epoch when the 5G technology is finally actualized. Bookmakers see internet of things (IoTs) as the next big thing that would change the face of the earth.
