Nigeria s fixed broadband price, higher above standard – UN – Punch Newspapers

Punch Newspapers Sections  Temiloluwa O’Peters Nigeria’s fixed broadband services price was at 22.08 per cent of Gross National Income per capita in 2020, 10 times above the standard pricing for developing countries. According to the UN Broadband Commission on Sustainable Development’s Target two for 2025, entry-level broadband service in developing countries should not cost more than two per cent of monthly GNI per capita, but Nigeria’s fixed broadband pricing surpassed this by 20.8 per cent. However, its mobile-broadband services pricing in 2020 fell within target, at 1.7 per cent. A report from the International Telecommunication Union and the Alliance for Affordable Internet titled ‘The affordability of ICT services 2020’ revealed that the global median price for entry-level mobile-broadband services in 2020 was at 1.7 per cent.
