The
National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATCOMS) has called on the
telecom operators to erect additional Base Transceiver Station (BTS) to improve
the quality of their services and Internet speed.
The
President of NATCOMS, Chief Deolu Ogunbanjo gave this advice while speaking
with DigitalSENSE Business News in Lagos, and explained that
with the increasing number of subscribers in the various networks it has become
necessary for the telecom operators to erect more infrastructures to meet the
challenges that often lead to poor quality of services.
“Low
tariff also increased the number of call frequency; hence the present base
stations cannot accommodate effective services. With additional base stations
to accommodate the volume of voice calls, I believe that all telecoms operators
will further reduce their tariffs,” he said.
He noted that the
telecom operators still face the challenges deployment
of base stations and urged government to provide lasting solutions to them.
Ogunbanjo
also informed DigitalSENSE Business News that about 150 base-stations were
affected natural and man-made disasters in 2012, especially bombing and
flooding.
“Low
tariffs from the operators have increased the number of calls frequency, hence
the current BTS cannot accommodate effective service.
“With
more base stations to accommodate the volume of voice calls, I am very
optimistic that all telecoms operators will further reduce their tariffs,” he
said.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
