However, networks based on frequency bandwidth have their limitations. To get substational bandwidth over sateillite is expensive and prohibitive in many cases.<BR/><BR/>What if anything could the NCC do to promote investement in telco infrastructure for business?<BR/><BR/>I am giving it serious thought as I deal with similar issues here in the UK. Bandwidth issues here are affecting roll out of internet TV and I am sure it will become the same in Nigeria. Developing content is the easy part in many respects!Katharinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17297754439128874391[email protected]
