Oman Telecommunications Report Q2 2016: New research report available at Fast Market Research

T he issue of licensing a third mobile operator has receded, and with good reason. Saturation and MVNO-driven price competition make it non-viable for a start-up to enter this mature market. Omantel and Ooredoo are deepening the relationship with their customers and both are actively pursuing opportunities in the enterprise and IT services sectors as a means of sustaining revenue growth. Omantel launched an IPTV service in January 2016, spearheading its assault on the nascent converged services market where Ooredoo is at a comparative disadvantage.

Latest Updates And Industry Developments

Mobile subscription growth was stronger than expected in 2015 as MVNOs outperformed. We forecast 6.83mn subscriptions by end-2016, rising to 6.98mn in 2020. 3G/4G migration will see such subscriptions rise from 3.73mn to 5.07mn over the same period.

Muted demand for low-capacity wireline broadband will impede broadband market growth, but fibre connections will facilitate uptake of high-value converged services. Subscriptions will fall to 2.90mn in 2020, but will yield higher ARPU, particularly for Omantel.
