Qatar - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses
Qatar continues to develop a strong fibre platform
Qatar has used its wealth to promote the National Vision 2030 program, which has multi-disciplinary ambitions. It is partly concerned with transportation infrastructure (road, rail, airports, etc) and public facilities (hospitals, museums, libraries, etc), but also with investment in telecom infrastructure such as fibre and 5G.
The number of DSL connections has fallen steadily in recent years, as subscribers have been migrated to fibre networks. At the same time, Ooredoo Qatar and Vodafone Qatar have extended the availability of 5G. A nationally available gigabit service is a viable prospect in coming years.
