New Fixed Networks market report from Business Monitor International: "Qatar Telecommunications Report Q1 2013"

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/28/2013 --BMI View: Qatar's mobile sector grew strongly in 9M12 compared with the same period in the last two years. However, we retain our view that subscriptions growth will slow significantly in the coming years as a result of market saturation and operators' increasing focus of higher value offerings, including postpaid subscriptions and advanced mobile data services. We believe data services will drive growth in the telecoms sector over the next five years, a view supported by rapid investments in fixed and mobile broadband networks, the increasing availability of data-enabled mobile devices and rising demand for data services, spurred by various e-government and e-commerce initiatives.
