Telecommunications: The weak segments of the industry

The telecommunications industry which ought to be a level playing ground for all operators in the various segments namely, Global System Mobile (G.S.M), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and the strictly Internet Service Providers (ISPs) has left some smiling to the bank having all the subscribers while others struggle for survival and are on the verge of dissolution.
Out of  24 registered telecommunications companies in the country, only 17 are currently operational. And there is the likelihood that is figure would reduce with time.
The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operators and the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are at the receiving end of this challenge. Though the Global System Mobile (G.S.M) operators have their own peculiar challenges, they have succeeded in harnessing their resources, investing in infrastructural development to meet up with changing technological trends of the world. This has brought about improved quality of service which is what attracts would be subscribers to any service provider. Subscribers would always build trust and patronize any provider with superior service delivery. This is the main edge the Global System Mobile (G.S.M) operators have over their Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) counterpart. They strive with vigor to improve the quality of service (QoS) delivered to their teaming subscribers and this has continued to earn them more subscribers.
Unless the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operators and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) rise up to this challenge, upgrading their infrastructure to world standard, many more would still fizzle out in no time.
