The Telecommunications market in Iran
As the first report to characterise
the current state of play in telecommunications in
Iran, this survey covers the fixed, Internet, mobile
and datacomms sectors.
With a population of some 68 million - similar to
that of France - the report sizes the Iranian market
opportunity across all sectors and provides forecasts
for growth over the next five years and value projections
for the fixed and mobile infrastructure markets.
Although its deregulation programme
is proceeding cautiously, a key objective is to attract
direct overseas investment. Opportunities in the equipment
sector are substantial and the report makes a vibrant
wireless and Internet sector forecast over the next
five years.
The mobile sector in particular
is poised for substantial growth and the report provides
player profiles, subscribers, market share and tariffs.
A focused case study also details the build out of
a new wireless mesh network nationwide by a new licensed
and independent player.
Major areas of future growth
include the expansion of public switching systems
to increase the number of telephone lines, satellite
communications, mobile cellular networks, rural telecommunications
and data communications systems. Transition from the
analogue to the digital system and wider introduction
of satellite networks are the major aims of the country's
telecommunication plan. Fibre optic systems will increasingly
be used as junctions or for long-distance connections.
The report also suggests that
Iran is continuing to position itself as an international
hub between Asia and Europe as a 10,000 km fibre optic
network with SDH technology and capacity of 30,000-voice
channel of 155Mbits is in its latest stage of implementation.
Replete with statistics and
forecasts, the report also contains an extensive list
of contact details in the incumbent operator company,
telecommunications service providers companies, regulatory
body as well as ISPs, and domestic supplier organisations.
