Pakistan - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, Oct 2011, Pages: 91
This report (17th Edition) provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media markets in Pakistan.
Key Highlights
- Despite an overall slowing in its telecom market, Pakistan continued to grow in the mobile sector;
- having passed the 100 million subscriber mark (just over 60% penetration) in 2010, mobile subscriber numbers were growing at between 4% and 5% in 2011, modest indeed compared with the earlier boom years;
- the country’s deregulated structure was certainly working well in the mobile segment of the market, with five operators competing vigorously for a share of the subscriber base and the revenue;Whilst Pakistan’s broadband Internet penetration still remained low in relative terms (a broadband subscriber penetration of less than 1% coming into 2011), 2010 had witnessed a huge surge (in excess of 100% growth) in broadband services.
- this strong growth phase had begun in 2007 and was continuing through 2011;
- growth in the country’s fixed-line market remained sluggish;
- fixed teledensity stood at less than 4% into 2011 with the numbers expected to only edge up slightly in the short term;
- one positive factor in the emerging fixed market has been the success of wireless local loop technology which was supporting almost 50% of all fixed subscribers by mid-2011 and still growing.
