There seems to be a healthy competition going on in between Nigerian mobile operators as we’ve witnessed a drop in internet tariffs over the last couple of months. Glo set it off by offering 200MB of data for just a thousand naira and MTN responded with a slash in its tariff, offering 250MB for 1,300 naira. The table below shows MTN mobile data plan as at October 2011.

The data plan look pretty cheap but it’s not good enough if you ask me. 1MB can go for just 1 naira, don’t you think?
