DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c56fb7/united_arab_emirat) has announced the addition of the "United Arab Emirates - Key Statistics, Regulatory and Fixed-line Telecoms Overview" report to their offering.

The UAE has long held the distinction of possessing a well-developed and technologically advanced telecommunications sector with high mobile, telephone and Internet penetration. However other countries in the region have been faster to liberalise their markets and are fast catching up in terms of penetration levels. Due to WTO requirements, the monopoly held by incumbent Etisalat has been cancelled and a second operator, du, launched their mobile and fixed network services in 2007. Motivated by the change in events, Etisalat has been rapidly expanding internationally and has reduced prices in the UAE for broadband and mobile services. This report provides a concise overview, backed by statistics, of the telecoms market, the regulatory background and the fixed-line market.
