The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) says it has commenced the process of conducting a study to assess the current level of competition in the colocation and infrastructure sharing (CIS) segment of the telecoms sector, a market in which 78 licensees currently operate. The aim of the study is to determine the level of competition in the CIS segment and formulate strategies to enhance opportunities in the market, as well as ensure and promote increased competition. The NCC has hired PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to conduct the study, which is expected to be concluded by July.
