Book Description
The Nigerian telecommunications industry has continued to grow in a phenomenal manner following market liberalization reforms that commenced in the 1990s. As of 2017, the telecommunications industry was one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in Nigeria and the fourth largest contributor to the country’s Gross Domestic Product. The telecommunications industry, however, remains a highly technical and naturally dynamic industry that has not been a usual area for legal research in developing countries such as Nigeria. This book bridges that gap in knowledge by providing an analysis of the legal and policy instruments that regulate the industry. It comprises eleven chapters that discuss the historical evolution of telecommunications and its regulation; the development of the Nigerian telecommunications industry from 1886 to 2017; the legal basis for the regulation of the industry; the licensing and duties of service providers; the regulation of network infrastructure; the protection of consumers; the regulation of competition, interconnection, universal access, and environmental protection; and the resolution of industry disputes. This book will be useful to policy makers, legislators, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors, operators, and consumers, as well as any person interested in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.

Communities in Cyberspace
Author: Peter Kollock
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113465412X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
This wide-ranging introductory text looks at the virtual community of cyberspace and analyses its relationship to real communities lived out in today's societies. Issues such as race, gender, power, economics and ethics in cyberspace are grouped under four main sections and discussed by leading experts: * identity * social order and control * community structure and dynamics * collective action. This topical new book displays how the idea of community is being challenged and rewritten by the increasing power and range of cyberspace. As new societies and relationships are formed in this virtual landscape, we now have to consider the potential consequences this may have on our own community and societies. Clearly and concisely written with a wide range of international examples, this edited volume is an essential introduction to the sociology of the internet. It will appeal to students and professionals, and to those concerned about the changing relationships between information technology and a society which is fast becoming divided between those on-line and those not.

The Informatics Handbook
Author: S.A. Fist
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461520932
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 752
Book Description
This is not a dictionary - and nor is it an encyclopedia. It is a reference and compendium of useful information about the converging worlds of computers, communications, telecommunications and broadcasting. You could refer to it as a guide for the Information Super Highway, but this would be pretentious. It aims to cover most of the more important terms and concepts in the developing discipline of Informatics - which, in my definition, includes the major converging technologies, and the associated social and cultural issues. Unlike a dictionary, this handbook makes no attempt to be 'prescriptive' in its definitions. Many of the words we use today in computing and communications only vaguely reflect their originations. And with such rapid change, older terms are often taken, twisted, inverted, and mangled, to the point where any attempt by me to lay down laws of meaning, would be meaningless. The information here is 'descriptive' - I am concerned with usage only. This book therefore contains keywords and explanations which have been culled from the current literature - from technical magazines, newspapers, the Internet, forums, etc. This is the living language as it is being used today - not a historical artifact of 1950s computer science.

Laggard Zone
Author: Oli Ogbonna
Publisher: OLILEANYA OGBONNA
ISBN: 0473407558
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
This is a perspective on telecommunications technology diffusion in Nigeria and the role of regulation. The pace of advancement in technology in the wireless telecommunications industry has been such that it is difficult for regulators to keep up with the trend. Regulators in different climes have varied resource pools to pick from and those in laggard zones are worst hit. I have observed the diffusion of technology in laggard zone nations and have also pondered how the regulatory framework has affected the speed with which new designs and products are available to the consumers. The book explores what role if any the regulatory environment in such climes can play to ensure that scarce national resources required to provide telecommunications services (frequency spectrum, land rights of way) are utilized efficiently so that the consumer gets the best available products and services as technology advances at the best price. The style of writing will be simple and maybe pedestrian as I seek to engage readers who are not necessarily lawyers, economists or policy makers but who make up the electorate that produces those in government (democratic) who in turn outsource regulation to unelected professionals that we all wish to believe are working for the public good and not those of the investors.
