> Besides the option to pay in naira, these companies allow Nigerians to store their data within the country — an advantage most of their Western rivals lack. Local servers give businesses the benefits of low latency and data localization at a time when the debate about who has access to a country’s data is heating up Uhhh... all major cloud providers let you locate data manually? AWS surely has Nigerian datacenters too, that's not an advantage, that's the minimum. I will grant the argument that random nigerian startups are not subject to foreign government interference, but saying that low latency is a benefit seems incorrect. |
