INDUSTRY WATCH
ANGRY WITH COST AND QUALITY,
NIGERIANS MAY BOYCOTT GSM SERVICES
FOR ONE DAY IN PROTEST
High tariff, poor services, inaccurate billing, and subscriber-care insensitivity on the part of GSM service providers constitute the grouse of mobile phone users in Nigeria and the Association of phone users has asked its member to boycott GSM services on Friday February 17, 2006 in protest. A similar one-day shut down of GSM services was carried out on September 19, 2003 when the only worries were high tariff, bad services and per minute billing. President of National Association of Telecommunications subscribers, NATCOM, Mr Deolu Ogunbanjo said the phenomenal growth in mobile services is not reflective of good service, subscriber-friendly products and reasonable tariff structure. Ogunbanjo’s call for the one-day boycott does not seem known to users outside his fellow activists apparently for reason of local press apathy.
