 Egypt - Convergence, Broadband & Internet Markets
Synopsis
Supported by forward-looking government programs, Egypt has become one of the leading Internet markets in Africa in terms of users, international bandwidth and services offered. The country is well connected by several international submarine fibre optic cables in combination with a national fibre backbone infrastructure, and the international bandwidth market has been liberalised. The entire sector is highly competitive with more than 200 Internet and data service providers, which has led to some of the lowest prices for ADSL services on the continent and broadband packages with up to 24Mb/s delivered to residential households. VoIP Internet telephony has been liberalised, and several companies are rolling out next-generation networks to provide converged IP-based voice and data services. The country's three mobile network operators are entering the market with third generation mobile broadband systems, and each of them holds a controlling stake in a leading data and Internet service provider: Orascom/Mobinil (LINKdotNET), Vodafone (Raya Telecom) and Etisalat (EgyNet).

Egypt - Key Statistics, Regulatory & Fixed-Line Telecoms Overviews
Synopsis
Egypt's telecom sector is performing consistently well with all sub-sectors being open to competition. The country has the largest fixed-line market in Africa and the Arab region, with a highly profitable incumbent telco (Telecom Egypt) which was partially privatised through an IPO in 2005. The end of its fixed-line monopoly in 2006 has opened up new opportunities for competitive service providers, and a second national fixed-line licence to be awarded in 2009 received strong interest from international bidders, although the process has been delayed as a result to the global economic crisis. Efforts are underway to roll out next-generation networks, offering converged IP-based voice, data and entertainment services. An increasing demand for bandwidth has led to the development of several additional submarine fibre optic cable systems to go online.

This report outlines the major developments in the market, with relevant statistics and profiles of the companies involved, including ARPU trends for the major mobile operators.

Egypt - Telecoms Market Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
The licensing of Egypt's second fixed network operator has been postponed as a result of the global financial crisis. The incumbent's fixed network rollout has slowed and the number of fixed lines in service started declining during 2009. However, takeup of ADSL broadband services continues unabated. There will be a shift towards wireless technologies, following the first successful WiMAX deployments in the country. In addition, all three mobile networks have launched 3G services and are set to become dominant players in the Internet and broadband market as well. With mobile and broadband tariffs already among the lowest on the continent, operators will seek to streamline their operations and distinguish themselves from the competition by quality of service and introducing new services. This report contains key statistics and provides forecasts for 2012 and 2015 for all market sectors.
