Brunei Darussalam - Data, Mobile Communications and Broadcasting In its effort to be a country with a modern telecommunications sector, Brunei has been moving energetically into Internet and wireless technologies. This report describes the push into mobile telephony where the country has already achieved a penetration in excess of 50 compared with a fixed-line teledensity of just over 25. By comparison the move into Internet has been less impressive so far, despite the government's strong support for IT and e-commerce. Broadband Internet is available in Brunei but the market has been less than enthusiastic. The report also looks at the country's TV broadcasting sector.

This report looks at how the sultanate, which is a member of ASEAN, is trying to meet the demand for telecom services and, in particular, how it is addressing the need to restructure and generally liberalise the industry to achieve this. The local landscape is still dominated by Jabatan Telekom Brunei (JTB), the incumbent telco that up until 2006 had been be a division within the Ministry of Communications (MoC). It should be noted that Brunei has been a difficult country to obtain up to date official statistics.
