Rural communities are facing digital isolation
Source: National Statistic of Oman
Rural and remote rural is 23% of the total
population
There covers approx.. 3500 Omani communities
The cost to cover these communities is up to 100
times that of the rest of the country and requires
subsidy in order to the services to be affordable.
TRA had number of previous attempts to support
this under the operator USO obligations and with
separate tender but real progress is slow
Sultanate’s cabinet has decided to implement the proposed National Broadband Plan
The implementation called for accelerated government supported approach rather than normal market evolution in order to achieve objectives
Coordinated implementation of NBS involves all key stakeholder
Providing wholesale infrastructure faster and more affordable
TRA Implementing regulatory change
Delivering Next Generation services &
IPTV
Increasing fixed services competition
Delivering Next Generation services
Introduction of other entities and ISPs in the
service layer using OBC infrastructure
ITA Stimulating supply
Delivering e-Government services
MMOTC National Broadband Strategy and Telecom policies
Supply of broadband services Stimulating demand
Oman Broadband Company was created to fill the market gap and accelerate the supply of affordable infrastructure
OBC Vision: To provide efficient and affordable broadband infrastructure connecting all residents and businesses in Oman delivering economic benefits in alignment with Government’s Vision of building sustainable knowledge based economy.
• Support for the existing operators
• Lowering the entry barrier for new entrants to compete on services
• Working alongside TRA and ITA to implement coordinated plan
• Solving previous issues in connecting rural communities
• Alignment with all other government infrastructure projects to reuse civil works
OBC is positioned as independent wholesale operation complementing existing operators not competing with them
Category OBC position
Customers OBC customers are the licensed telecom service providers, utility companies,
government and specialist service providers using NBAP (traffic control,
municipalities).
Competitors OBC is designed to provide a utility style service hence it is not competing
with service or infrastructure providers. It complements them.
Service Offering Infrastructure services and other wholesale services
Regulatory Licensed telecom services provider focusing on passive infrastructure
services with provision of active service on case by case basis
OBC strategy implementation will be targeting…
1. Coverage and
accelerated roll-out
