Introduction
• Telecom sector plays a critical role in economic growth and is key in attracting FI; (according to the
World Bank: Investments in African telecom companies are generating annual rates of return in excess of 25%.)
• Egypt’s telecom revenue represents an estimated 4.0% of its GDP with mobile revenue generating 56% of it • Growth rate of mobiles penetration jumped from 6.6% to 25% during 2002-2006; while the (GDP) growth was much less
Market Background
• MobiNil was the first operator in the Market (May, 1998) • Vodafone followed by November 1998 • Then Etisalat by May 2007
Market Background (cont’d)
• By Q2 2008, the Market share of the three operators was • The market can be considered as Monopolistic competion

• 1) Population evolution and potential market growth, • 2) SIM penetration vs. active clients, • Fixed line deployment is low and slow-to-grow in developing countries; that said, penetration was also low in France, Portugal and Italy in early 1970s. • In short, mobiles - unlike personal computers (PCs) and wireline networks - are being rolled out at a faster rate in developing countries than developed ones, thereby "closing the 'digital divide'."
