Poor internet infrastructure
is a major challenge for businesses operating in the country, which is Africa's
largest oil producer. Broadband services for Nigeria's 190 million residents
are either unreliable or unnecessary. Google launched a network of free Wi-Fi
hotspots in Nigeria on Thursday to try to increase its presence in Africa's
most populous country. Already in Lagos four places live, by the end of the
year 2019, five additional Nigerian cities - Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kaduna,
Enugu, Ibadan will be expanded to 200 places. It has been said that this will
generate cash from service in Nigeria by placing Google ads in the login
portal. Google did not disclose the amount invested in the new Nigeria service.
The technology firm said that it planned to share revenue with its partners to
help maintain and deploy Wi-Fi service but did not disclose the expected
advertising revenue split. With rapid population growth of Africa, declining
data cost and heavy adoption of mobile phones, this has become an attractive
investment prospect for technology companies. Nigeria is the fifth country to
launch Google station. Similar services have been launched in India, Indonesia,
Mexico and Thailand. The goal of the service is in those countries which are
rapidly expanding the population. The United Nations estimates that Nigeria
will be the third most populous country after China and India by 2050. Last
year, Google announced plans to train 10 million Africans in online skills
within five years. It is also said that its goal was to provide African
start-up $ 3 million in equity free support. Broadband services for Nigeria's
190 million residents are either unreliable or unnecessary.
Although the service will be
an upgrade for many users. According to the global broadband speed league by UK
Analytics firm cable, the speed of Google station is 30 Mbps per second (Mbps)
speed per second, with the average internet speed of 1.86 Mbps in Nigeria.
According to Anjali Joshi, vice president of Google's next billion user
program, the company will monetize Google station through local advertisers and
share revenue with technical partners. The company is in talks with
telecommunications operators in Kenya to launch the project's Lunen, using the
high-altitude balloon of solar power, users have an ambitious plan for beam
internet on the Internet. Nigerian Vice President Yami Osinabajo visited
