Middle East
Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Overview
This Paul Budde report gives a brief over view of the Middle
Eastern telecoms market. The market is changing, with rapidly
increasing competition in the mobile sector and slowly reducing
state involvement. Licence tenders to operate privately owned
mobile networks have recently taken place, are taking place or
are about to take place in seven of the fourteen countries.
Mobiles are taking market share from declining fixed-line markets
in the more developed countries. Internet use and broadband
development are generally low for the relative levels of economic
development but both Israel and the UAE are significant
exceptions.
