 Egypt - Internet and Broadband Market Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
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 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. Egypt's three mobile network operators have entered the market with third generation (3G) mobile broadband services, 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 and Fixed-Line Telecoms Overviews & Forecasts
Synopsis
Egypt 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. A second national fixed-line licence tendered in 2009 received strong interest from international bidders, but the process has been postponed to at least 2013. Instead, two regionally limited triple-play licences for fixed-line voice, high-speed broadband and pay-TV services were issued in 2010. Efforts are underway to roll out next-generation networks, offering converged IP-based voice, data and entertainment services. Egypt is well connected by several international submarine fibre optic cables, a national fibre backbone, and one of Africa's first Fibre-to-the-Home (FttH) deployments.

Egypt - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Egypt became one of the first countries in Africa to launch third generation (3G) mobile services in 2007, following the award of the country's third mobile licence the previous year. 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 to more than 90% in early 2011. The strongest growth is currently seen in mobile broadband services, which offers the network operators - Mobinil (backed by Orascom and France Telecom), Vodafone Egypt and Etisalat - new revenue streams in an environment of falling average revenue per user (ARPU). A fourth mobile licence is not planned before 2013.
This report outlines the major developments in the market, with relevant statistics and profiles of the companies involved, including 3G mobile broadband growth and ARPU trends for the major mobile operators. It also contains an in-depth analysis of the third mobile licence valuation and market forecasts to 2013 and 2016.

Egypt - Telecoms Market Statistics and 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, uptake 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.
