The growth in subscriber lines and tele-density has been very impressive. From a modest start of about 400,000 fixed and 25,000 mobile telephone lines in 2001, the industry by July 2011 had an active base of about 90 million subscribers representing a tele-density of 60. This growth was the result of continued uptake of digital mobile services, (with about 98% market share) and the adoption of a Unified Licensing Regime. The Communications sector has actively contributed to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The percentage share of GDP from Communications, according to NCC, rose from 0.06 in 1999 to 2.39 in 2007, 2.90 in 2008, and 3.66 in 2009. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) report on the year 2011 performance of the various sectors of the country’s economy, stated that the ICT sector’s growth at 35 per cent, makes it the fastest growing sector of the Nigerian economy. The combined ICT sector contributed 5.46% to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2011. Private investment in the telecoms subsector rose from US$50 million in the year 1999, to US$18.0 billion, at the end of 2009, and to about $25 billion at the end of 2010. Some of the achievements in the telecom sector have been supported by extensive optical fiber projects across the country, as well as the deployment of satellite communications. The NCC initiated the Wire Nigeria Project (WIN), and the States Accelerated Broadband Initiative (SABI). The USPF is a mechanism to extend service to unserved and underserved areas of the country. The NCC contributes 40% of Annual Operating Levy (AOL) received to the Fund. Projects under the fund include: i. School Access Program; ii. Community Communication Centres; iii.
