BMI: UAE Telecommunications Report (Jun-11)

2011-07-18 11:02:00 (читать в оригинале)

BMI?s Q311 update to the UAE?s telecommunications market report incorporates market data from theTelecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) and telecoms providers Etisalat and EmiratesIntegrated Telecommunication Company (du) relating to the end of March 2011. It contains ananalysis of the mobile, fixed-line and broadband markets, and recent regulatory developments. It alsocontains our first five-year growth forecast for mobile ARPUs in the UAE, in addition to updated forecastfor the mobile, fixed-line and internet sectors.According to the TRA, there were 11.067mn mobile subscribers in the UAE at the end of March 2011.This represents growth of 1.3% q-o-q and 3.8% y-o-y. As in previous quarters, there continues to be aconsiderable difference (1mn subscribers in Q111) in the mobile subscriber data from the regulator andthe operators. However, our analysis this quarter is based solely on the regulators official data. This isbecause of the regulator?s clear definition of the method used to calculate the number of activesubscribers and the use by du of the same method. We, therefore, calculate the number of activesubscribers on Etisalat?s mobile network by subtracting du?s subscriber base of the regulator?s overallsubscriber base.According to the TRA market data during Q111 there were also sharp increases in the number of fixedlineand broadband subscriptions. The fixed-line sector recorded net additions of 261,000 subscribers orgrowth of 17.9% q-o-q. The TRA has not provided explanation for this sudden increase in fixed-linesubscriptions, although BMI believes it is more likely due to the use of a different method for calculatingthe number of fixed-line connections as opposed to actual subscriber uptake, a view supported by the factthat the sum of Etisalat and du?s fixed-line subscriber base now equals the regulator?s figures. Thebroadband sector also saw impressive results during Q111 with net additions of 79,000 subscribers or
