East Timor Celebrates A Decade Of Independence: Expanding Telecom Services Remains A Priority
East Timor, which has adopted the name Timor-Leste and has come to be commonly known by both versions of the name, is continuing its effort to simply maintain integrity as a nation.
Throughout a most difficult of political periods, the country's telecommunications sector has been expanding with the mobile telephone sector experiencing a particularly strong and sustained surge.
Market highlights:
- After surging in the 2008/2009 period, the East Timor mobile market grew by around 30% in both 2010 and 2011; it was continuing at a similar pace in 2012;
- Mobile subscriber numbers had reached 600,000 and penetration was at 50% by the end of 2011;
- In sharp contrast with the mobile market, both fixed-line subscriptions and internet usage in its various forms remained especially low, with only modest growth likely in the short term;
- On the broader national front, however, the country's recent history of political and civil unrest continued to cause uncertainty and predictions for development were guarded;
- Indeed, the political situation has been proving a major distraction for government, putting a damper on development programs and infrastructure building;
- Despite this, the 10th anniversary in 2012 of the country gaining its independence from Indonesia was cause for widespread celebration;
- The country ranked number 23 in the world on the 2011 Index of Failed States, not a very promising statement on national development.
Note: The coverage provided of East Timor's telecoms market is relatively limited due to its early development stage.
