The Nigeria Communications Satellite Limited (NIGCOMSAT) has
promised Nigerians of increased bandwidth availability, if its proposed bill to
the National Assembly is signed into law.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of NigComSat, Timasaniyu
Ahmed-Rufai gave the assurance in Abuja recently while allaying fears expressed
in some quarters that the passage of the NigComSat Corporation Bill will create
unhealthy competition between it and the private sector operators.
According to Ahmed-Rufai, “The downstream sector will benefit
immensely from the increased availability of bandwidth, and opportunities to
partner with NigComSat for the delivery of services”
He added that NigComSat has no domestic competitors, as there
are no other indigenous communication satellite operator. The competition is
rather with foreign satellite operators such as YYAHSAT, INTELSAT and SES NEW
SKIES who also provide bandwidth for the Nigerian market.
Bring it on NigComSat, we can’t wait.
