Research and Markets: Egypt - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts - 2012 - More Than 100% Annual Growth in Mobile Broadband

Apr 11, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7a35b8f1/egypt_telecoms) has announced the addition of the "Egypt - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts" report to their offering.

Egypt - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts - 2012 - More Than 100% Annual Growth in Mobile Broadband Despite some restrictions and censorship, which culminated in the 2011 political and social unrest, Egypt is one of the most developed Internet markets in Africa in terms of users, international bandwidth and services offered. The country was again ranked fourth among African countries in the Networked Readiness Index' of the Davos World Economic Forum's 2010/11 Global Information Technology Report. It is well connected through national and international fibre infrastructure and one of Africa's first Fibre-to-the-Home (FttH) deployments. Egypt also has some of the lowest prices for DSL services on the continent, the result of a highly competitive sector with more than 150 Internet and data service providers.

The strongest growth is currently seen in mobile broadband services, which offers the network operators - Mobinil (backed by Orascom and France Telecom), Vodafone Egypt (VFE) and Etisalat - new revenue streams in an environment of falling average revenue per user (ARPU). All three have also acquired controlling stakes in leading data and Internet service providers.

Egypt became one of the first countries in Africa to launch 3G mobile services, following the award of the country's third mobile licence in 2006. The record price that was paid for the licence indicated the potential that is seen in the Egyptian mobile market, and the penetration rate has indeed multiplied since then and broke the 100% barrier in 2011. A fourth mobile licence is not planned before 2013.
