Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper is an appraisal of the Global System for mobile communication (GSM) in Nigeria. It gives an overview of the history and the trend of GSM in Nigeria; the effect so far; the areas of reconsideration and future expectations as compared to developed countries. GSM has become one of the world’s greatest achievements in the field of science and has changed the world of telephony and communication. With the introduction of GSM, Nigerians now have access to a variety of different services that were never possible with Government Owned Telecommunication Company(NITEL), such as mobile banking and so on. As more phones and accessories are being sold, it has helped to stimulate the Nigerian economy. The study concludes that the deregulation of the Nigerian telecommunication sector, hence, the introduction of GSM technology has made very significant positive impact on the economic situation of Nigeria. However, the biggest challenge facing the mobile industry in Nigeria is Energy especially the issue of electric power supply. The study from its findings recommends that the government should expand tele-density and provide the necessary economic infrastructures (particularly power supply) to the GSM operators in order for them to deliver efficient services.
