Victor Adoga, manager of national numbering plan for the Nigerian Communications Commission(like USA’s Federal Communications Commission), was one of the most interesting people our company met at NXTCOMM in 2007 in Las Vegas. Finally, you can listen to him share NCC’s work in QoS, bringing together service providers with consumers for realtime solutions, and converged communications ideas for the future.

We made this call from my cell phone to Victor’s and so the call quality may be a bit sketchy, but the content is exciting, thought-provoking, and paradigm-shifting.

There are over 17 million mobile phone subscribers in Nigeria as of 2009. There is a recent explosion of GSM and CDMA operators. The Nigerian Communications Commission is intent on educating its consumers of their rights in regards to telecommunications services.
