Executive Summary

Key highlights

  • Number portability and new licences have shaken up the Israeli fixed-line market, with incumbent Bezeq’s share of the market falling to levels around 85% by mid-2008. The report of an advisory commission has recommended key regulatory changes, including creating a wholesale market in all sectors, unbundling local lines and licensing MVNOs.
  • The advisory commission has also advocated giving independent content providers a real chance to operate on broadcasting infrastructure. Israel has widespread DBS and cable multi-channel TV and IPTV is also operational
  • Jordan’s thriving mobile market is likely to get even more competitive with the granting of its first MVNO operator licence in mid-2008
  • A second Egyptian fixed-line licence is planned for 2008, together with the expansion of broadband services and wireless networks
  • The licensing and launch of a third network gave Egypt’s mobile market a significant boost to reach 43% penetration by March 2008, up from only 27% in early 2007
  • Following the resolution of its political stalemate in mid-2008, the Lebanese government will decide whether to privatise and liberalise its fixed line and mobile operators. A string of potential buyers is ready to enliven the market and release its untapped potential. An independent regulator has made an impressive start
  • Turkey’s communications market holds much potential given the size of its population, its growing economy and the alignment of its regulatory framework with that of the European Union
