This IDC Market Note highlights the June 2025 announcement by Qatar's Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) that it would open access to over 4,860km of government-owned telecom duct infrastructure. The report examines how passive infrastructure sharing — particularly when supported by a digital platform such as CRA's GIS-based Duct Management System (DMS) — can accelerate broadband rollout, reduce civil works duplication, and help level the playing field for retail service providers. The report also considers the broader implications for national digital transformation, especially in the age of AI and fiber-intensive applications.
