By the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) operators' estimation, a mere 30 per cent success was achieved by Friday's boycott of their services. But the percentage might have resulted in not less than N500 million loss by the operators. The organisers of the boycott however, disagreed with the operators' claim, claiming that the exercise recorded a 60 per cent success, which translates to about N960 million. Independent assessors, however, put the rate of success of the switch-off exercise at about 50 per cent or N800 million loss. These figures were arrived at using the calculation of N500 an average subscriber spends on calls through the network per day. For instance, MTN has 1.2 million active lines, Econet one million and M-tel 100,000 lines. Therefore, MTN, with a daily call revenue of N500 from an average subscriber may have suffered a loss N180 million within the period of boycott. (Guardian) |
