Saudi Arabia is on course for economic growth driven by rising demand for broadband Internet, smart devices, mobile financial services and sophisticated telecom services, says the country’s telecoms provider, Saudi Telecom Company (STC).





Large emerging markets like Saudi Arabia are becoming the new global growth engines as their telecom industries drive economic growth, says industry analysts in the run-up to GITEX Technology Week 2012 taking place from October 14-18 at Dubai World Trade Centre.


According to research firm RNCOS, overall IT spending in Saudi Arabia is expected to reach US $5.7 billion by the end of 2014, up from $3.5 billion in 2010. RNCOS has also identified growth potential in smartphones, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), WiMax and security software markets, as well as rapid growth in 3G and broadband over the next few years. This potential is demonstrated by the country’s total mobile phone penetration rate of 198 per cent during 2011 with scope to increase beyond 200 percent, according to Saudi investment company Aljazira Capital.

“Countries with a healthy, competitive telecoms environment have managed to attract high levels of foreign direct investment and Saudi Arabia is the largest telecoms market in the GCC, strongly positioned to benefit from the next wave of growth opportunities following liberalisation of the sector in recent years,” says Dr Khaled bin Abdulaziz Al Ghoneim, CEO of STC Group. “Economic development is enabled through securing efficient employment, attracting foreign direct investment, consistently innovating and having a stable macro-economic growth - the telecommunications industry plays an important role to stimulate this economic competitiveness,” he adds.

“Businesses and consumers are demanding faster and more immediate connectivity at an increasing rate, which is driving innovation and growth in Saudi Arabia’s ICT sector,” says  Trixee Loh, senior vice president at Dubai World Trade Centre, organiser of GITEX. “The demand for this connectivity has driven significant investment, directly and indirectly contributing to the economic performance of the country as a whole through job creation, advertising, SME support and the connection of businesses,” she adds.

Mobile Phones Sales Plummet

Details Published on Thursday, 16 August 2012 06:34 Worldwide sales of mobile phones reached 419 million units in the second quarter of 2012, a 2.3 percent decline from the second quarter of 2011, according to Gartner. Smartphone sales accounted for 36.7 percent of total mobile phone sales and grew 42.7 percent in the second quarter of 2012. "Demand slowed further in the second quarter of 2012," says Anshul Gupta, principal research analyst at Gartner.

"High-profile smartphone launches from key manufacturers such as the anticipated Apple iPhone 5, along with Chinese manufacturers pushing 3G and preparing for major device launches in the second half of 2012, will drive the smartpho...

Now facebook hit with international class action privacy suit

An Austrian privacy activist has launched a wide-reaching class action suit against Facebook Ireland for breaching European data protection law. Anyone outside of the US and Canada can join activist and law student Max Schrems' suit via the website fbclaim.com, since they will have signed up to Facebook's terms and conditions via the Dublin-based European subsidiary. That amounts to around 82 percent of all Facebook users. After being live for just one hour, the site has collected 100 participants. The suit is seeking damages of €500 ($537) per user, and injunctions to be levied on the company for the following breaches:     Failing to get "effective consent" for using data     Implementing a legally invalid data use policy     Tracking users online outside of Facebook via "Like" buttons     Using big data to monitor users     Failing to make Graph Search opt-in     The unauthorized passing of use...

Board Directors Prioritise IT

Details Published on Wednesday, 25 July 2012 07:25 Board directors are prioritizing customers, core competencies and competitive advantage, according to Gartner-Forbes 2012  survey. They are willing to invest in IT as a means to change the rules of competition. Also, they have IT as the highest priority for investment in 2012, tied with investments in sales. "Board directors clearly have a top priority to invest in IT and leverage IT for competitive advantage," says Jorge Lopez, vice president at Gartner. "These forward-looking attitudes are being made although more than half of the survey respondents replied they are preparing for a market recession. It underlines the fact that investments they plan to make are essential to growth and even survival, and they are willing to throw the investment gauntlet down now, rather than later." The priorities of the board directors are directly centered on customers, building better ways to drive the business forwa...
