As the river of voice and broadband subscriptions rise, the erosion of ARPU comes together with the heat of economic downturn, we need to strengthen our “Iroko” tree, namely the telecommunications network. We need to favour sharing models that would sustain the gains of the last decade. My purpose for this book is to influence telecom players, policy makers and entrepreneurs to harness these sharing models which in essence typify the communal nature of the African spirit. A popular Ashanti proverb goes thus: “"Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle." Let Africa arise and build this telecom forest that would shelter us, our children and posterity. Telecommunications network across the continent can be likened to the giant African “Iroko” tree having trunks and stems shared by branches and leaves at the top. It is the true symbolism of the great strength unleashed by sharing common infrastructure below while preserving identities at the top. Africans do understand the great spiritual significance of the “Iroko” tree uniting us by common infrastructures, enriching and purifying our ecosystem. Let us share the roots and stem while we retain our identities at the top.

Excellent insights on telecoms network sharing

By Emeka O on March 26, 2013

This book derives from an MBA thesis and so it has an academic feel to it. The author has dutifully explored the concept of network sharing in Nigeria and in the process, x-rayed the opportunities and challenges network sharing can bring to telecoms operators across Africa.

At its heart is a detailed questionnaire which seems to have been completed by 20 highly relevant individuals in the Nigerian telecoms industry. The insights has provided supporting evidence to the author in proving his hypothesis that network sharing is beneficial to operators and the presumed risks are, perhaps, slightly overstated.

Accordingly, this book will be highly beneficial to anyone trying to understand the concepts of network sharing in general, and the African market in particular. It deconstructs what network sharing entails, appraises the opportunities it offers, examines the risks it presents and offers analysis and insights on how regulators and operators can help to realize the benefits of network sharing.

In terms of its content, it deserves a five star. However, its academic format impacts on its readability, hence a four star.
