United Arab Emirates has a unique telecom market, characterized by extremely high penetration. However, its way towards market liberalization was hard and long. The market has been ruled by a state-owned monopoly for a long period, and its deregulation has been a matter of time. But the requirements of World Trade Organization made the government allow Etisalat privatization. Further action was to provide competition in the industry, and finally it became possible with introduction of du, the second national operator. From the moment of its appearance fixed-line penetration started growing at a fast pace and resulted in industry progress. As for mobile market it is characterized by colossal penetration of over 207% even though ruled by duopoly. Still, a part of subscribers use their multiple SIM-cards for short time periods, thus potentially decreasing actual penetration rates. Another reason for unreliable statistics is population inclined to migrations. The companies tend to benefit from their business not by increasing rates, but by introducing new services and offering new plans. Both organizations are partly owned by the government. Etisalat also poses itself as an international company, owning facilities in the neighboring countries. 3G technology is also in place, with the latest progress seen in the sphere of mobile TV, and the customers having possibility to benefit from better services and a wide range of channels.

UAE mobile market is dominated by two leading players, Etisalat and du. The first one has been a monopoly in the mobile sphere for a long time and for the present moment still leads the market. Du is positioned at the second place, with 25% of market share, steadily consolidating its rating by winning over Etisalat subscribers. To illustrate its growth it can be mentioned that Etisalat has only 75% of market share in its disposition in comparison with 87% last year. Speaking about Internet technologies in United Arab Emirates it should be said that the government enthusiastically promotes their development in the country. Due to this fact computer and Internet literacy in the region is high, with Internet penetration also reaching its peak. Encouraging broadband use, UAE government also supports Internet business and activity. The average connection speed offered by market players is 1 Mbps with 24Mbps being the highest for home use.
