| Summary, etc. | The Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN) among many other telecommunication industries<br/>embrace the use of fiber optic technology to deploy their networks to offer services to their customers based on<br/>its numerous advantages. The advantages are not limited to its immunity to electromagnetic wave pick up, high<br/>capacity of bandwidth for data and voice activities, and immunity to cross talk. It is without doubt that the fiber<br/>optic network infrastructure deployed by the MTN has suffered frequent fiber cuts. In addition, these cuts have<br/>had impactsnegatively on the quality of service delivery to its numerous customers across the length and<br/>breadth of Ghana. Furthermore, the cuts have had negative effects on the financial status of the aforementioned<br/>telecom industry. Hence, research was embarked on to delve into the most serious impacts that resulted from the<br/>frequent fiber cuts. The negative effects such as the increase of the operational expenditure, the decline of the<br/>revenue thrown on the finances of the MTN were also analyzed. The research was conducted using MTN Ghana<br/>(Western and Central Region) as a case study. A purposive survey was administered to obtain information about<br/>the impacts. Also, Pareto and Ishakawa analytical tools were applied to the primary source data for the<br/>analysis.Based on the primary data evaluated, it was established that the total network unavailability attributed<br/>to fiber cut for the period under study, that is, from 2014 to 2016 was about 540 hours equivalent to about<br/>twenty two and one half days.Again, it was concluded that the organization losses tremendous amount of<br/>revenue to this fiber cut menace in respect to the operational cost incurred to restore and relocate damaged<br/>fiber cut. |
