RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled, “Booming UAE Telecom Sector” to its report gallery. The UAE’s telecommunication market has shown tremendous growth over the recent past, mainly propelled by the government initiatives aimed at the deregulation of the market and introduction of competition. The TRA (Telecommunication Regulatory Authority) remains at the forefront of the success of the country’s telecom sector. It is continuously considering and evaluating ways to further intensify competition in the UAE telecom market.
Penetration in the mobile market surpassed 166% in 2007, leaving less room for operators to further take advantage of the market. But this is not the end of growth; future growth in mobile subscriptions will come from growing population and increasing number of expatriates, says RNCOS in its new research report, “Booming UAE Telecom Sector”. Moreover, operators are now looking at Value Added Services (VAS) to derive revenues from saturated mobile market.
However, the fixed-line sector remains underdeveloped, with fixed-line penetration standing at just over 30% in 2007. Various factors, such as high tariffs and absence of fixed-line networks, have been hindering the growth of the country’s fixed-line market. But the recent announcement by the TRA to allow Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS) in the country could bring fruitful results in this sector.
In line with the increasing education and business in the region, the demand for Internet services has also increased in recent years. Although dial-up subscriptions currently dominates the Internet market, we project broadband subscribers to account for nearly 65% of Internet subscribers in coming few years.
Developments in all the sectors of ICT industry has heated up the competition in the region. So operators are seeking new sources of growth to capitalize on their share of the market. This is resulting into introduction of new technologies such as IPTV, VoIP, Mobile TV, etc. Operators in the region are aggressively pushing the deployment of network infrastructure suitable for these technologies.
“Booming UAE Telecom Sector” provides in-depth analysis of the telecommunication market in the UAE. It gives an insight into the current market trends dominating the market. This research report also gives industry forecast on various telecom segments based on feasible telecom industry environment in the UAE. These include telecommunication industry, fixed-line, mobile subscribers, Internet subscribers, broadband subscribers and 3G subscribers.
The research presents thorough analysis on the current and potential outlook of various emerging technologies, such as IPTV and Mobile TV in the UAE.
As the telecom market remains duopoly of Etisalat and du, the report, keeping in mind importance of these two players in the success of UAE telecom market, offers rational analysis on both these operators. This includes in-depth research and extensive analysis on their business activities, recent developments and SWOT analysis in regard to the UAE telecom industry.

A new study from RNCOS, “Booming UAE Telecom Sector”, has found UAE as one of the highest Internet-connected countries of the Middle East region. The country has now more than half of its population connected to the Internet and broadband services. Moreover, the expansion of Internet is quite uniform in the country as almost all facets of the society - individuals, schools, businesses and the government – use Internet widely.
Broadband subscription in the Middle East country is growing far faster than dial-up. In 2007, broadband represented around 42% of Internet subscriptions, while it was just over 24% in 2005. Increase in Internet subscriptions is attributed to the rising consumer need to get Internet connectivity with the consistently lowering of Internet subscription rates. This has raised the current Internet penetration figures in the UAE to 2.5 users per subscription, according to the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA).
To further foster the Internet penetration in the country, the federal government is encouraging the development of ‘smart cities’, another regional trend. As a result, Internet penetration in the UAE is projected to continue with its rapid growth in future as well. RNCOS research expects the volume of Internet subscribers to grow at a CAGR of approx 25% during 2008-2012. Broadband subscribers are projected to account for approx 65% of the Internet subscribers by 2012 end.
“Booming UAE Telecom Sector”, apart from broadband, offers extensive research on other telecom segments also, such as fixed-line and mobile. It thoroughly analyzes the UAE telecommunication market, taking into consideration various factors that remain requisite for ensuring intended growth in the market. The report further evaluates the potential of various emerging telecom technologies, like 3G, WiMAX, Mobile TV and IPTV in the UAE.
As the telecom market remains duopoly of Etisalat and du, the report, keeping in mind the importance of these two players in the UAE telecom market, also offers rational analysis on both these operators. This includes in-depth research and extensive analysis on their business activities, recent developments and SWOT analysis in regard to the UAE telecom industry.

An Inimitable Instrument…….iPhone
|
|
|
Lots of talks are doing rounds about the upsurge of mobile market, especially the iPhone market. It was dusk of June 29th. The year was 2008. A new phone was to be launched in an already flooded phone market. The world was watching. Hype was created a lot before the launch. Competitors were all too concerned and were watching the developments with rapt attention. It was 6:00 PM, and here happened the unprecedented, unfathomable phenomena in the history of mobile sales. Let us dive deeper.
Apple said they’d like to sell 10-million (10,000,000!!!!) iPhones by the end of 2008; remember this number is roughly one-percent of the cell phone market. Some skeptics laughed at the idea. On the other end of spectrum, there was a section of people who were optimistic to sell double or triple the number.
Such optimism was not misplaced. Since people have seen Mr. Steve Jobs performing exceptionally well over a considerable length of time with his other products in the same segment. Apple iPhone users report the highest overall satisfaction scores among major Smartphone manufacturers. So much so that even 33% of females have caressed for this fascinating instrument.
One of sources from Cingular (Now AT&T), the iPhone’s preferred cell phone carrier had said each retail store would have about 200 iPhones to sell on opening night. Remember it was June 29th, & the countdown began after 6:00 PM.
Assume that to be true. There’s about 1,850 AT&T retail stores, and about 150 Apple Stores in the US, so, around 2,000 outlets total. That makes for an opening night sale of about 400,000 iPhones. Nielsen Mobile estimates that there are 2.3 million US mobile subscribers using an iPhone.
Has any cell phone carrier ever sold that many phones in a day? Like it or don’t, that’s around staggering $200-million in sales, NOT including the AT&T service contract, which, at a meager $50 a month, could add another $1,200 total revenue per iPhone sold. That’s almost another $500-million in sales.
By any cell phone or cell phone carrier’s historical numbers, and by most standards, those are history making numbers. That’s for the first night, not the rest of the year.
It would be highly fool of us if we stay oblivious to the happenings in this sector of economy. We have to watch carefully each and every thing that deals with iPhone and its ancillary products. Lets gear up!
