Yemen Telecoms Market
Overview and Statistics Report
Teledensity in Yemen is among the lowest in the Arab states,
reflecting low economic development, with the provision of
fixed-line services dominated by the incumbent operator. The
national communications network is being modernised; an agreement
with an international cable network has been concluded and
broadband services have been launched. Until 2000 the incumbent
also held a monopoly on the provision of mobile telephony and
Internet services. There are now three competing mobile operators
and mobile subscriber levels are growing rapidly, albeit from a
very small base. A fourth operator is to commence services
shortly as a tender for the country’s third GSM licence has
been concluded. This report provides an overview on the
development of Yemen’s communications network, brief
profiles of major operators as well as statistics to highlight
the progress of the communications sector in Yemen. See summary and table of

Broadband and Consumer E-Commerce
in Yemen
May 2006 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.
