has announced the addition of the United
Arab Emirates - Key Statistics, Regulatory and Fixed-line Telecoms
Overview report to their offering.
“United
Arab Emirates - Key Statistics, Regulatory and Fixed-line Telecoms
Overview”
The UAE has long held the distinction of possessing a well-developed and
technologically advanced telecommunications sector with high mobile,
telephone and Internet penetration. However other countries in the
region have been faster to liberalise their markets and are fast
catching up in terms of penetration levels. Due to WTO requirements, the
monopoly held by incumbent Etisalat has been cancelled and a second
operator, du, launched their mobile and fixed network services in 2007.
Motivated by the change in events, Etisalat has been rapidly expanding
internationally and has reduced prices in the UAE for broadband and
mobile services. This report provides a concise overview, backed by
statistics, of the telecoms market, the regulatory background and the
fixed-line market.
