I believe that in the coming few years, will witness the transformation of operators from the traditional entities they were into more innovative companies with diversified portfolios of offerings."

“OTT has affected market players in two ways. The first of which was the effect OTT had on SMS and international calling revenues of the operators. Additionally, OTT is also imposing pressure on the infrastructure in which telecom operators have heavily invested. This makes transformation inevitable.” Ms. Hiba Al Atiyat, Arab Advisors Senior Research Analyst wrote in the report.
