One of the nation’s leading
telecoms network, Globacom, has
once again emerged the fastest
growing network in terms of
acquisition of internet subscribers
in Nigeria’s telecommunications
industry.

This was according to the report of
the third quarter of 2015 just
released on the Nigerian
Communications Commission, NCC,
website.
The report indicated that Globacom
gained the highest number of
internet users in September 2015
with over a million new internet
users on its network.
NCC indicated that Globacom had
21,896,229 internet users on its
network as at the end of
September, up from 20,765,379
data users in August. The figure
showed an addition of 1,130,850
new internet subscribers.
Globacom’s figure was higher than
the total number of new internet
users who joined the three other
major telecom operators, MTN,
Airtel and Etisalat. The three
recorded a combined total of
716,450 new internet subscribers
in September.
MTN placed second by recording
additional 423,448 new internet
users on its network. Airtel placed
third with 235,941 new subscribers,
while Etisalat recorded the least
number of new internet users in
the industry with additional 57,061
new data subscribers joining the
network in September.
For several months, Globacom has
led the race for the acquisition of
new internet users in the market.
The network added 1,434,830 data
users last August, while MTN
recorded 309,960 and Etisalat
147,149 new internet surfers. Airtel
on its part had a drop of 110,838.
The steady growth in the number of
data subscribers on the Globacom
network is said to be a fall-out of
the improved data services which
followed the networks
improvement exercise being
carried out by the company.
