It seems that one thing that will never change in the telecommunications industry is that things are always changing. Comcast is now on the leading edge of the most recent changes with its all new system of bundled services. Supermarkets have been doing it for years by offering their customers more choices and better prices, because it’s a proven formula that works for both the provider and the customer.

At Comcast you now can pick and choose from a variety of services and get all of your telecommunications shopping done with one convenient stop for maximum savings. If you are currently using a standard dial up service for your internet service provider, than you are way behind technological speaking. Comcast new state of the art broadband high speed cable internet service can and will save you time and money while you are on the internet and also make your time that you spend on your computer so much more enjoyable.

Using standard dial up service is like being permanently stuck in a slow moving traffic jam on the information super highway. In contrast moving along that same highway using broadband high speed cable service from Comcast is like zooming down the fast lane with no one in sight in front of you. It’s a full one hundred times faster than standard dial up and six times faster than DSL.

Everything happens with high speed with the click of a mouse while with standard dial up service you are constantly stuck waiting and waiting. With Comcast broadband high speed cable internet service you never have to wait to log on, because you are always logged on, so you can just sit down at your computer and go to work and it’s just that smooth.

Comcast also now has digital phone service for its family of customers as well and it’s the latest technology in phone service. Because of the new streamlined efficiency that digital technology brings with it most of the things that you are currently being charged for by your current phone service provider are free of charge from Comcast.

The first thing that every customer receives is free nationwide long distance calling, any time, day or night and even on weekends. You receive all twelve of your calling convenience features such as caller ID, Call, waiting and voice mail, free of charge also, so there are no phone bill surprises with Comcast. Also because it is digital, all of your calls go through without a hitch and reception is always perfectly clear on both ends of the line.

Of course Comcast is still the leader in TV programming and they now broadcast entirely in digital format for a crystal clear picture and sound. Nothing compares to the reliability and simplicity of a solid cable connection and there is no need to have any fickle electrical equipment mounted on your home with Comcast.

Comcast now has your choice of two on demand pay per view packages, one being their standard and highly affordable on demand pay per view and the other one is called Premiums On Demand pay per view. One thing that will never change is that only cable can bring you on demand while the others make you wait. The great thing about bundled services from Comcast is that you only receive one bill each month that covers all of your services from Comcast.

Executive Summary

The Sector At A Glance

Key Insights On The Telecomunications sector of United Arab Emirates

The future of the UAE’s fixed-line market is expected to be one of continued slow growth, at odds with our earlier expectations that the sector would begin to flatten out, and eventually dip. Annual growth has remained fairly consistent over the past few years, with 2004 experiencing growth of 4.6%, followed by 2005 growth of 3.5% and 4% in 2006, taking the total fixed-line subscriber base to 1.28mn users. Our confidence that the market will continue growing derives from the ban on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services by the telecoms regulatory body, and until such a time when use of VoIP is allowed, customers will have little alternative than to use services as provided by Etisalat and du. This forms the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority’s (TRA) method of protecting its domestic companies and industry. Etisalat has sought to encourage usage in the international long distance (ILD) market by offering the corporate sector a 35% discount. We are now forecasting that fixed-line will grow at a consistent rate, in line with previous movements in the market, to achieve a penetration rate of 28.6% by the end of this year.

Further, the dominant operator is also seeking an aggressive strategy towards its broadband market position, with newcomer du currently trialling WiMAX. Etisalat set a precedent in the UAE with the announcement that it would reduce broadband tariffs – one of the highest in the region – and on a par with regional peers such as Bahrain’s Batelco. The operator is hoping that it will be able to make an early entry into the triple-play arena, with a well-established base across the mobile and fixed-line sectors, and ahead of newcomer du. To this end, it has also been pursuing a fibre-optic cable project, and recently added a new agreement to its existing portfolio with a US$400mn joint venture linking the Middle East, India and Western Europe.

Even as the operator branches out into the triple-play arena, it is well aware of the saturated nature the mobile market presents, leading it to pursue an international expansionist strategy. Two likely takeover candidates are Algérie Télécom, which is also the sole owner of mobile operator Algeria’s No.2 Mobilis and Kuwait’s Wataniya (it failed in its objective here). Having said that, Etisalat will need to be vigilant over its domestic market – newcomer du is more than likely set to take subscribers away from the market, given its 100% penetration rate, with MNP facilitating the move. The 31-year absence of an alternative service provider is more than likely to have made customers keen to try out a new provider, and unless it is able to provide a good level of service and high network quality, Etisalat could soon find itself permanently losing market share. To this end, Etisalat has sought to satisfy UAE customers, who are technologically more savvy than other users in the region given the modern technological infrastructure they enjoy, leading with the announcement this quarter that the migration to Next Generation Networks (NGN) had begun, with around 10% of its existing network to be NGN-ready by YE07.
