Why is it important?

The article will caution GSM service provider in the country to stop pursuing excess money at the detriment of their subscribers. This will go a long way to stabilise good communication system in the area under study and by extension to the entire country. It will also serve as point of reference for further researches.

Perspectives

There should be provision of more Mobile Service Switching Center (MSC), Base Station Controller and base station site in order to minimise congestion. Logistics such as detailed network planning, computer aided design system and tools are necessary for coverage prediction, interference analysis, frequency planning, microwave link planning and documentation
