The GSM price war
SIR: I wish to comment on the on-going price war in the GSM industry and to commend Globacom for the current reduction in the prices of SIM cards of the various GSM companies.
One is happy to note that with just a little above N800, one can buy a GSM line in the country today, a product that had once sold for as high as N30,000 in the same country.
I particularly want to thank Globacom for leading the way and I hope the reduction will extend to the tariff charged by the GSM companies.
I want to appeal to the company to set the pace by reducing further its local tariff the way it recently reduced its international call rates. I have no doubt that other GSM companies will follow since they always wait for Globacom to act first.
