Network infrastructure remains a key bottleneck in many markets. Building out infrastructure represents a large portion of a telecom provider’s costs, and can make it difficult to provide users with high-speed connectivity at affordable prices. We invest in infrastructure and platforms to drive down the cost of internet bandwidth. We expect our investments to reduce the costs of delivering data and improve network reliability and speeds, as well as encourage open access infrastructure sharing and competition. Together with MainOne and state governments, we are increasing broadband connectivity in Edo and Ogun States. We built 900 km of fiber across the metros of Abeokuta, Ogun and Benin City, Edo; and additional backhaul through rural Ogun.
