Summary
MVNO developments set to shake up Saudi Arabia
marketSaudi Arabia offers many opportunities for
the future with a strong ICT market which is
growing year-on-year and a significant interest
from government and enterprises to utilise recent
technology developments surrounding cloud
computing and smart technologies.In 2013 mobile
subscribers actually declined in Saudi Arabia due
to a crackdown on the number of illegal immigrant
workers in the country along with new
restrictions on the number of pilgrim workers
allowed. Phone registration regulations have also
been tightened and as a result mobile subs
dropped to 51 million at the end of 2013,
compared to around 53 million in 2012.

three virtual telecoms licenses where awarded in
Saudi Arabia and MVNO services are expected to
start during 2014.While the telecoms sector is
highly competitive there are also growth
opportunities in data services for both fixed and
mobile. Data fees will become more and more
important to overall revenues in the
future. Fixed broadband penetration is growing
strongly in the kingdom. Broadband is available
via ADSL, fibre and wireless. Mobile broadband
has also become a feasible proposition and viable
alternative to fixed broadband following
substantial investments in 3G and LTE
technology.
