The Highs and Lows of the 3G Mobile Market in the Middle East
Business Monitor International, September 2009, Pages: 64
BMI’s report on mobile telecommunications in the Middle East covers nine markets, which may be divided into two: those which are approaching 100% penetration and those which already have passed the 100% penetration mark by a considerable margin. The markets examined in this report are Bahrain, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
In addition to forecasting subscriber growth in the mobile markets of all of these countries and for the region as a whole, the report looks in particular at opportunities for growth in the 3G mobile telephony industry. The report studies the 3G climates for all nine markets and profiles operators that either already operate 3G networks or are about to launch services over the coming year. Our forecast period is for five years until the end of 2012. Most of our 2007 figures are actual, but some are still estimates.
In general, we have used operator definitions of 3G subscribers. In most cases the market size figures will relate to those consumers who are in possession of a 3G-compatible handset. This does not necessarily mean that each of these subscribers is regularly using the 3G network for data transmissions. The principal 3G technology in use in the Middle East is W-CDMA: this technology predominates as it is used as the next step on from legacy GSM networks, but some operators are simply adding-on 3G-type platforms such as EDGE and HSPA without first installing a W-CDMA core or, indeed, receiving a formal 3G licence.
