LAGOS: People in Ghana, long troubled by poor Internet and telecom services in the country, have told Bikyamasr.com that they are excited and hopeful on the entry of Glo into the telecom sector. They believe it will help boost services and ensure full capabilities for the near future. “It is great because we have so often been frustrated with the way our mobile phones are being connected during calls and the fact that our Internet goes from being fast to really slow and unusable,” said one Accra resident. With Glo, the country should see a dramatic boost in services almost immediately, company officials said. According to a press statement from Glo, it has promised to be “aggressive and competitive on quality of network service, tariffs and customer care, and it boasts of a network ready to accommodate up to 10 million customers congestion-free for starters. “ That promise is backed by over US$750million worth of infrastructure comprising the latest broadband technology, Next Generation Networks, over 1,600 state-of-the-art Base Transceiver Stations (BTS), four ultra modern Switches with capacity for up to 10 million lines with congestion-free service, 18 Base Switching Centres (BSC), 800 3G Node Bs, an ultra-modern Call Center and 25 GloWorld outlets.
