Kuwait Telecommunications Market Overview & Statistics Report
The Kuwaiti telecoms market is a contrast between a highly regularised and non-liberalised fixed-line sector, where few markets have seen less regulatory change, and the dynamic and highly competitive mobile sector. There is also very limited competition in the Internet sector. This has resulted in low fixed-line penetration but a highly developed mobile market. Kuwait was early to liberalise its mobile sector. It now has two strong operators, who are expanding aggressively internationally to compete on a global scale and are also developing advanced networks and mobile applications. This report outlines these contrasting market sectors, together with appropriate statistics. It should be noted however that up to date statistics (outside the mobile sector) are rare for Kuwait and it was necessary to estimate in some cases.
