Bahrain’s main telecoms indicators

Bahrain began to liberalise its telecoms sector in 2002 with the establishment of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). As of December 2007, the TRA had issued 152 licences including seven fixed-line, two mobile, 15 international calls and 10 Internet licences. Despite its small population, the kingdom remains one of the most connected and competitive markets in the MENA region.
