Dig-Once — a telecom policy thrust to restore order, by Okoh Aihe
In fact, making business out of the Dig-Once Policy was one of the cardinal reasons for the meeting: to present and validate findings from the consultancy study on a transparent, equitable, and cost-based pricing framework for shared duct infrastructure under the Dig-Once Policy.
I have no doubt that the Dig-Once policy will work, not only because it can support faster and more cost-efficient broadband infrastructure deployment, and thus contribute to improved connectivity, reduced deployment delays, better infrastructure coordination, and a more sustainable digital communications ecosystem, but for the many other benefits it brings to the table.
The Dig-Once Policy (DOP), for which the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) presented a consultancy study last week, the second in the series, would seem to put an end to all that chaos, all that unstructured digging, and restore order and sanity that can bring benefits and profits to all the stakeholders, while unleashing industry growth much needed for accelerated telecommunications infrastructure build-out and service delivery.
