Co-location services 'cutting costs for new businesses'
Recent developments in Nigeria have shown how co-location and infrastructure sharing services can help new businesses to expand.
A large number of telecommunications firms in the West African nation now use co-location to share technological infrastructure with other enterprises, thereby significantly reducing their operational expenditure.
According to Business Day Online, the benefits of co-location for Nigerian telecoms companies were highlighted at a business forum in Lagos last week.
Ernest Ndukwe, executive vice chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, explained that his organisation had already taken steps to produce a set of guidelines for the use of co-location services.
"That is a clear indication of very strong support for the concept of co-location in the industry... I'm happy to know that some of the newer companies that have started business in Nigeria have heavily depended on co-location," he told the website.
Meanwhile, chief executive officer at First City Monument Bank Ladi Balogun claimed that co-location would play an important role in the development of the country's telecoms industry.
Grant Kirkwood of Mzima Networks recently told tmcnet.com that "smart co-location choices" are becoming increasingly important for businesses in the current economic climate.
