Middle Eastern Mobile Markets More Rewarding Than European Counterparts, Says Analysys

The Middle Eastern mobile market presents greater revenue opportunities than markets in Europe when taking into account its size and spending power, according to a new report, The Middle Eastern mobile market: trends and forecasts 2007-12, published by Analysys, the global advisers on telecoms, IT and media (http://research.analysys.com). In 2006, total mobile revenue per capita in the Middle East demonstrated a trend above that of European markets when comparing markets in the two regions with similar levels of average disposable income. For example, in a Middle Eastern market where disposable income is USD10 000, total mobile revenues would be expected to be 20% higher than an equivalent European market.
