Mongolia Telecoms Market
Overview and Statistics Report
Since the Mongolian Government’s telecommunications reform
program in the mid-1990s, there has been effective liberalisation
of all market segments, partial privatisation of the fixed-line
incumbent operator, Mongolia Telecom, and establishment of an
independent regulator. Competition is in place for both fixed
and mobile telephony, including local, long-distance, and international,
Internet, VoIP, and VSATs. While the fixed-line network has been expanding
slowly, the mobile phone market has undergone a remarkable boom, with the
number of subscribers growing at an average rate of over 100% year-on-year
for a number of years. Two additional mobile licences were awarded in 2005/06
to Unitel (GSM) and rural mobile operator G-Mobile (CDMA). This report looks
at the country’s overall telecom market and includes a selection of
pertinent market statistics. See summary and table of

Broadband and Consumer E-Commerce
in Mongolia
May 2007 Review
There is a wide disparity in
telecommunications development in the Middle East region, ranging
from Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which have levels
of Internet and mobile use not dissimilar to those in Western
Europe, to Iran, Syria and Yemen where levels are below Sri Lanka
or Vietnam. Some of this disparity is caused by differing
economic circumstances but political and social attitudes,
corruption levels and economic openness also play a part.
There are signs of greater openness in the industry across the
region but change is coming slowly. Several countries are moving
towards greater competition in the industry and to privatisation
of government owned operators but mostly at a glacial pace. An
exception is Bahrain, where the government has passed the
appropriate laws, introduced a relatively independent regulator,
announced a liberalisation timetable and awarded a second GSM
mobile licence (on schedule according to the timetable) all in
the space of less than a year.
Mobile use has been the fastest growing area of
telecommunications with regional growth rates around 50% per
year.
