Engr Gbenga Adebayo, Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) featured in this Technology Times video, speaks about telecoms industry players’ concern about the cost of 5G deployment in Nigeria.
The ALTON leader spoke at an event held by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) ahead of the auction of two frequency spectrums later won by MTN Nigeria Plc and Mafab Communications Limited.
The high cost of the offered spectrum, ALTON says, will eventually impact the cost of offering the mobile service supporting high-speed delivery of voice, data and video services to subscribers in Nigeria.
NCC had on February 24, 2022, confirmed the full payment of $273.6 million each by the two spectrum winners, in addition to the spectrum assignment fee paid by MTN for its preferred spectrum for the 5G service.
