Leveraging the Power of Broadband
through the
AT&T
TRANSFORMATION
2020
& THE
UAE EXPO 2020
0
Taking Broadband to the next level & Driving
Revenue by fostering new competitive
international markets available through the UAE
• The EXPO 2020 is going to give the UAE the opportunity to
display new and emerging technologies that will make it a
global tech hub of the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East
and Africa)
The country’s geographical position in
the Middle East and its advanced tele-
communications network will also
enable it to compete effectively in this
high growth sector. The telecommuni-
cations sector is a high-tech fast-paced
capital-intensive (and expensive)
business that requires constant
investments in new and upgraded
infrastructure, an undertaking that can
only be carried out by wealthy
countries such as the UAE to drive its
diversi-fication strategy into these new
sectors.1

Dubai – Smart City
The city of Dubai is
undergoing construc-
tion of a smart infra-
structure based on the
latest, cutting edge
technology. This
project is aimed to
keep all Dubai
residents with hsi in
public places and keep
them well connected
through the most
advanced fiber optic
network and high-
speed wireless
internet, with speeds
up to 300mbps.
0
Government
Stability-Adequate
• The UAE’s constitution established a federal
government that leaves much power to the emirates
• 7 emirates (imarat, singular - imarah); Abu Zaby (Abu
Dhabi), 'Ajman, Al Fujayrah, Ash Shariqah (Sharjah),
Dubayy (Dubai), Ra's al Khaymah, Umm al Qaywayn
• Government has executive, legislative, and judicial
branches
• The executive branch dominates the political system
0
Government
Economic Freedom-Adequate
• According to the 2014 IEF, the UAE economy is
71.4% free, which makes it the world’s 28th
freest economy
• The UAE is ranked 2nd out of 17 countries in the
Middle East/North African region
• The UAE scores above the world average in
fiscal freedom, labor freedom, freedom from
corruption, government size, and trade freedom
0
Government
Openness to FDI-Highly Adequate
• The UAE government valued FDI at $12 billion
in 2013, which ranked first in the Arab world in
terms of attracting inward investment
• The UAE’s companies’ law stipulates that foreign
investors may own a maximum of 49% of a
company registered in the UAE
• The level of FDI in the UAE may increase in the
near future if existing laws are liberalized
• The FDI in the UAE is expected to grow by 20%
this year to $14.4 billion
0
Economics
GDP Growth Rate-Adequate
• Director of IMF’s Middle East & Central Asia
Dept. said the UAE saw sustained growth with
its nominal GDP achieving 24.5% growth—from
$192.6 billion in 2007 to $239.9 billion in 2008
• Real GDP growth did slow down from 7.4% in
2007 to 6.3% in 2008
• Real GDP growth forecasts for the UAE economy
have ranged from a high of 3.2% to a low of 0.6%
with an average estimated rate of growth of
2.25% as reported by the IMF, the UAE Central
Bank, and by various local and international
banks and financial institutions
0
Economics
GDP Per Capita-Highly Adequate
• GDP per capita for 2005 was high compared
with other Arab countries—almost $29,000
• This was a 34.8% increase in GDP per capita
from the GDP per capita seen in 2002
• GDP per capita in the UAE was around $38,000
in 2006, which was one of the top 25 highest
GDP per capita in the world
0
Economics
Consumer Inflation Rate-Somewhat Adequate
• Strong capital flows, extra-loose monetary
policy, weakening fiscal prudence and imported
inflation did drive inflation in the absence of a
tight monetary policy
• CPI inflation in the UAE had been on an upward
spiral, reaching 9.2% in 2006, 10% in 2007, and
at 12% in 2008
• The global financial crisis and the relatively low
price of oil have placed downward pressure on
the CPI with estimates of inflation ranging from 1
to 2%. Thus, it is very useful to look at the
sectoral contribution of GDP to determine the
changing influence of various sectors on
aggregate economic activity
Economics
Potential Market-Highly Adequate
Age structure:
0-14 years: 20.7% (male 597,476/female 570,275)
15-24 years: 13.7% (male 457,647/female 311,673)
25-54 years: 61.5% (male 2,639,018/female 820,915)
0
Economics
Potential Market-Highly Adequate
• UAE’s strong commercial tradition affords
foreign business people a wide choice of
experienced partners in reaching a market of
more than 1 billion people in the EMEA region
(Europe, Middle East and Africa)
• Research by Ericsson in the Middle East markets
reveals that 32% of users in the UAE & Saudi
Arabia play video games at least once a week
0
Physical Infrastructure
Transportation-Adequate
• The UAE currently has no rail system.
• Transportation is mostly road-based.
• The UAE has 4,080 kilometers of paved roads, 253
kilometers of those are expressways.
• The UAE has 43 airports, six of which are
international airports.
0
Physical Infrastructure
Commercial Shipping-Highly Adequate
• The UAE has 15 commercial ports (including oil
terminals).
• The leading port in the Gulf Region is located in
Dubai.
• It has modern facilities to handle almost any type of
commercial and passenger shipping.
0
Communications Infrastructure
Telecommunications-Highly Adequate
• UAE has 1.9 million land line telephones (2012).
• They have over 13.7 million mobile telephone sub-
scribers (2012).
• Lowest mobile phone rates in the Middle East (US
$0.06 per minute).
• They have the best telecommunications network in
the Middle East.
• Key centers for modern fiber-optic integrated
services and digital network centers are Abu Dhabi
and Dubai.
0
Communication Infrastructure
Media- Highly Adequate
• The UAE has over 3.45 (2009) million internet users.
• They have 15 television stations and 23 radio
stations.
• Most television and radio stations are government
owned.
• With the upcoming acquisition of Directv, this is a
perfect opportunity for AT&T to expand its market
share in the Middle East, Europe and North African
regions. It would be a perfect way to quickly recoup
from the expenditure of the Directv acquisition as
well.

  • 9. 0 Economics GDP Growth Rate-Adequate • Director of IMF’s Middle East & Central Asia Dept. said the UAE saw sustained growth with its nominal GDP achieving 24.5% growth—from $192.6 billion in 2007 to $239.9 billion in 2008 • Real GDP growth did slow down from 7.4% in 2007 to 6.3% in 2008 • Real GDP growth forecasts for the UAE economy have ranged from a high of 3.2% to a low of 0.6% with an average estimated rate of growth of 2.25% as reported by the IMF, the UAE Central Bank, and by various local and international banks and financial institutions
  • 10. 0 Economics GDP Per Capita-Highly Adequate • GDP per capita for 2005 was high compared with other Arab countries—almost $29,000 • This was a 34.8% increase in GDP per capita from the GDP per capita seen in 2002 • GDP per capita in the UAE was around $38,000 in 2006, which was one of the top 25 highest GDP per capita in the world
  • 11. 0 Economics Consumer Inflation Rate-Somewhat Adequate • Strong capital flows, extra-loose monetary policy, weakening fiscal prudence and imported inflation did drive inflation in the absence of a tight monetary policy • CPI inflation in the UAE had been on an upward spiral, reaching 9.2% in 2006, 10% in 2007, and at 12% in 2008 • The global financial crisis and the relatively low price of oil have placed downward pressure on the CPI with estimates of inflation ranging from 1 to 2%. Thus, it is very useful to look at the sectoral contribution of GDP to determine the changing influence of various sectors on aggregate economic activity
