Research and Markets: Egypt - Key Statistics, Regulatory and Fixed-Line Telecoms Overviews - 2012

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c7ffb9fe/egypt_key_statis) has announced the addition of the "Egypt - Key Statistics, Regulatory and Fixed-Line Telecoms Overviews" report to their offering.

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 ae 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.
