Summary

Middle Eastern countries are mostly just beginning to move towards less state involvement and greater competition in their telecoms markets, in many cases encouraged by WTO membership requirements. Israel is by far the most deregulated market, with active competition in all areas. Whilst nearly all the other countries in the region are now beginning to introduce some degree of competition and private ownership, Bahrain and Jordan are much the most advanced in the process. Oman is also opening its telecoms market, but is someway behind in the process, with only a second mobile licence awarded as yet.

The region's telecom market is changing, with rapidly increasing competition in the mobile sector and the gradual reduction of state involvement. As a result of significant investments in the expansion and improvement of local infrastructures, demand for telecom services is growing and more technologically diverse services are becoming available. Mobiles are taking market share from declining fixed-line markets in the more developed countries. Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar are all testing 3G services following its successful introduction in Bahrain and Israel. Although broadband penetration is still extremely low in the region, by 2006 growth rates were generally on a par with the average growth rate of most developed regions. Convergence issues have yet to have much impact in the region. Growth is set to continue as the markets become more liberalised with open competition.
