Introduction
This report is the second TRA Annual Sector Review. It summaries the state of the fixed,
mobile, and data telecommunications services in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in terms of
subscribers, penetration, revenues and usage (traffic volumes) for the years 2007 – 2010.
The report also outlines the contribution of the telecommunications sector to the UAE
economy.

Industry Background
The UAE telecommunications sector is currently served by two integrated telecommunications operators,
Emirates Telecommunications Corporation (Etisalat) and Emirates Integrated Telecommunications
Company PJSC (du). Competition in the UAE telecommunications sector started de facto in early 2007
when du, the second licensee, launched its mobile network services ending nearly 30 years of
telecommunications monopoly by Etisalat.
Today, the sector continues to be served by both Etisalat and du across multiple services as illustrated in
the table below:

Licensee
In 2010, the TRA issued a satellite services licence to Al Yah Satellite Services Company PJSC to provide
telecommunications services by satellite technology. This licensee is yet not providing services and all the
data given in this report relates only to Etisalat and du. Therefore, the term “licensee” in this report refers
to either Etisalat or du.
