 Bhutan - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Until relatively recently, Bhutan was isolated in terms of its telecommunications capability, the country's mountainous landscape having been a barrier to the development of any sort of infrastructure. Whilst the country had a basic connection to the outside world as early as 1974, with the introduction of trunk calls between Bhutan and India, it was not until 1999, that television, satellite dishes and Internet services started to appear. Between 1996 and 2000, the small country of less than a million people invested US$15 million in telecommunications infrastructure to provide a modern fixed network. This report looks at the country's overall telecom market and includes a selection of pertinent market statistics, noting that up-to-date statistics for some sectors of the Bhutan market are difficult to obtain.
