Egypt - Telecoms Market Statistics & Forecasts

Synopsis

The licensing of Egypt’s second fixed network operator has been postponed by at least a year to 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis. The incumbent’s fixed network rollout has slowed, but re-accelerated in the second half of 2008. Takeup of ADSL broadband services continues unabated. There will be a shift towards wireless technologies, following the first successful WiMAX deployments in the country. In addition, all three mobile networks have launched 3G services and are set to become dominant players in the Internet and broadband market as well. With mobile and broadband tariffs already among the lowest on the continent, operators will seek to streamline their operations and distinguish themselves from the competition by quality of service and introducing new services. This report contains key statistics and provides forecasts for 2010 and 2015 for all market sectors.
