Middle East
Digital Media, Broadband and Internet Telecommunications Markets
This Middle East market report covers the digital media, broadband and
Internet markets in each of the following countries: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran,
Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria,
Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. View executive summary here.
Middle East
Mobile Voice and Operators Telecommunications Market Report
The Middle East mobile market is characterised by some very high
penetration rates and continuing healthy subscriber growth rates in most
countries. This is putting strain on rates, which are falling as subscriber
numbers increase. View the executive report here.
Middle Eastern Regulatory,
Infrastructure and Fixed-line Market Telecommunications Report
At first glance fixed-line teledensity in
the Arab Middle East would appear very low, even in the wealthier
countries, compared with teledensity rates of other world regions.
However, figures can be misleading due to the larger household sizes
compared with Europe or the USA, plus large hostel-accommodated
expatriate populations in some countries. Several markets are now
showing decline due to mobile substitution, particularly in Jordan
with its very competitive mobile market. View the report summary.
Middle East Telecoms, Internet,
Broadband and Mobile statistics (tables only) Telecommunications Report
In the Middle Eastern region
telecommunications infrastructure varies from very advanced to very
rudimentary. Several FttH projects are under development in Israel and
the Gulf countries but in Yemen and Iraq fixed-line penetration is only
around 5%. The area is well served with international links via submarine
cables. This Middle East report (tables only) provides 276 statistical tables
covering all aspects of telecommunications in each of the following Middle
Eastern countries: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait,
Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, UAE and Yemen.
