Look at the facts!

• Qatar’s IT services sector is expected to reach $500 million per annum by 2012• Worldwide IT spend in 2009 will slow down from a pre-crisis projection of 5.9% to 2.6%. However, the Middle East will continue to grow faster than all other major markets such as US, Western Europe and Japan • ICT spending in Gulf states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar) is expected to exceed US$ 10.1 billion by 2010 • The Middle East region represents one of the world’s fastest growing mobile subscription markets, with a regional forecast of 15% growth in 2009• Liberalisation of national telecoms markets – in particular Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Iran – and the auction of new mobile telecoms licences in Iraq is driving demand• Higher income Gulf countries are seeing strong growth in broadband access. Saudi Arabia, for example, had over 840,000 broadband subscribers in 2008-Q3, compared with around 150,000 two years earlier.
