MTN Nigeria To Bring Affordable Alternative Mobile Electricity To Nigeria

MTN Nigeria, the leading ICT company and Nova-Lumos, the world’s first distributed utility provider, announced their collaboration today on a next-generation alternative “mobile electricity” service. The Nova-Lumos service will provide alternative electricity to MTN customers who are living in rural areas across Nigeria and are not connected to the electricity grid. The Nova-Lumos service is provided using a solar panel and an indoor unit that allows MTN customers to subscribe to alternative electricity on demand using their mobile phone. With Nova-Lumos, MTN customers can replace kerosene, candles and flashlights with modern electricity that can power significant lights, cellphones, fans, PCs or laptops, radios, TVs and other small electronic devices, all at once, every day. “By paying for usage only in small payments, the same way our customers purchase airtime and other mobile services, MTN and Nova-Lumos will offer an innovative and widely-accessible service for all MTN customers,” said Michael Ikpoki, MTN Nigeria CEO. “MTN is committed to investing in the future of mobile electricity to our customers across Nigeria,” he added.

MTN Plans To Sell It's Stake In Nigeria Tower Network By Year End

MTN, Africa’s largest telecoms company plans to sell a stake in its Nigerian mobile tower network, which it values at more than $1 billion, this year. “There is a bidding process going on, so they’re busy doing a due diligence on us, on our towers, our processes and we’re doing due diligence on them, if they’re the right company,” the Chief Financial Officer of MTN’s Nigerian unit, Andrew Bing, said in an interview in the commercial capital, Lagos today. “During this year that process will then come to a conclusion where there will be a financial bid and a transfer of towers.”

Carriers in Africa are offloading the assets, which cost more to run on much of the continent than in some other parts of the world because of the need for backup generators and batteries to guard against power failures. Towers and the infrastructure that accompanies them can account for more than 60 percent of the expense to build a mobile network, according to data from IHS Holding Ltd., a telecommunications infrastructure company.

Please Note: The first think to consider when making a data plan choice is research how good a particular network is in your neighborhood, this is very important, for example if Airtel Nigeria decides to sell 1Gb of data for 100Naira and all you have is EDGE in your area for Airtel , then you will just waste your 100 Naira because you will not be able to do anything with it. EDGE is already yesterday’s technology and even it is important to know the speed of 3G/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA in your area if you have one, because some are as bad as EDGE.MTN, GLO, Etisalat and Airtel Data Plans Suitable for Androids SEE MORE AFTER CUT>>>>>>
