Afghanistan Telecoms Market
Overview and Forecasts Report
Afghanistan is building some positive momentum in its effort to put national
telecom infrastructure in place and to offer effective telecom service throughout
the country. The process involved in achieving, however, this has not been altogether
smooth. The 2001 war in Afghanistan destroyed telecommunications infrastructure
that had already been suffering serious disrepair due to neglect by the Taliban
government. The nation’s network of telephone lines was left barely functioning.
There were only 12,000 telephones in the capital city, Kabul, with its population
of almost 2 million residents.

Mobile, Broadband and Digital Economy in Asia
Report
Mobile markets in Asia have continued experiencing rapid growth during 2009, despite
many countries close to or over the 90% penetration mark. A combined total of close

These two countries combined account for over 57% of overall market share in the
Asia-Pacific region.
