Research and Markets: Iran - Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband Report

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/866d83/iran_telecoms_m) has
announced the addition of the "Iran - Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband" report to
their offering.

Iran has a population over twice as high as any other of the countries of the
Middle East but with lower mobile penetration levels. The market changed
dramatically in late 2006 with the launch of second mobile operator MTN Irancell
and has seen high growth. Competition will shortly become even fiercer as a
third licence has been awarded. Etisalat of the UAE was the highest bidder but
the award was cancelled and instead Zain of Kuwait was awarded the licence. The
privatisation of a share of incumbent fixed-line and mobile operator TCI has
also been under discussion but now seems less likely. Investment in fixed-line
infrastructure in recent years has increased teledensity substantially,
particularly in rural areas. Internet use is generally through Internet cafes
and other public access points. With the aid of insightful statistics this
report covers the development of Iran's telecom industry, outlining regulatory
and market developments as well as major players.
