UAE hits 199% mobile subscriptions
According to the latest figures by the UAE's Telecoms Regulatory Authority (TRA), the country's active mobile subscribers grew 7.33% to 11.72 million in 2011, compared with 10.92 million in 2010, Gulf News has reported. The penetration rate rose from 197% in 2010 to 199% in 2011, the report said. The telecoms sector's contribution to the UAE economy fell from 5.3% to 4.9% last year. The sector contributed Dhs26bn to the GDP. "Despite high mobile penetration, the UAE telecoms market still presents a significant growth potential, particularly in the broadband segment. Growing penetration of smart devices coupled with relatively young and urban population complements potential in this segment," Bhanu Chaddha, senior telecoms research analyst at research firm IDC, told the daily.
