NCC says increased broadband penetration boosts BYOD

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has again reiterated its drive towards increased broadband penetration in the country.

This was part of Professor Umar Danbatta, NCC executive vice chairman’s goodwill message at the two-day DigitalSENSE Forum Series 2016 held in Lagos during the week, adding that the Commission will not relent on creating enabling environment for competition among operators in the industry as well as ensuring the provision of qualitative and efficient telecommunications services throughout the country.

The EVC represented by Oluwatoyin Asaju, deputy director, Spectrum Admin at NCC, added that increased broadband penetration will lead to more organisations adopting Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and other flexible approach to work environment.

According to the International Communications Union (ITU), an “increasing number of workers are relying on mobile devices to do their jobs, and smart companies and nations realize that this trend can help them cut costs and boost efficiency”.
