We recently obtained a license to provide internet services to the teeming internet population in the southern states of Nigeria (the most populous African nation). We have been putting heads together to get this business started up bearing in mind the problems we face here in Nigeria. The most embarassing and frustrating is that we have only one national carrier that belongs to the federal government, which monopoly has made it to become a monster to deal with. The worst of all the government allowed it to use it's internet gateway to deploy unlimited internet services to nigerians at an outrageously low price per year (half of what the private operators charge). Some of us that what to be new entrants in the business have been watching with keen interest at this development. We had thought of deploying this service through wireless using a satellite link, thereby bypassing the national carrier and its problems, the cost alone may not be affordable to our people bearing in mind the per capita income. We seek assistance in deploying dial-up cost effective solutions to our people to benefit from the dividends of our democracy and the huge opportunities of the internet. Our consortium is made up hard working professionals who have made it in our choosen careers. This is our new baby and WE INTEND TO MAKE IT WORK. ASSIST US WITH THIS DREAM We remain ever grateful for your time.
