Summary
MTN Nigeria
isp mobile eyeball
MTN Nigeria — the largest mobile operator in Nigeria and the biggest single
market of the pan-African MTN Group.
What it's used for
- Mobile voice and data for a very large Nigerian subscriber base, plus fixed-wireless and business connectivity.
Notable
- A major "eyeball" network — addresses are overwhelmingly mobile devices behind carrier-grade NAT, so one public IP can map to many users.
- Part of MTN Group, headquartered in South Africa and operating across Africa and the Middle East.
Interesting
- In much of Nigeria mobile is the primary way people reach the internet, making carriers like MTN the dominant on-ramp rather than fixed broadband.
