Gulf telecoms race to roll out 4G - The National

Gulf telecommunications companies are lining up to roll out 4G mobile networks, following the launch of the high-speed services in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

High-speed mobile internet - which allows for the streaming of videos and viewing high-definition YouTube clips on the go - is tipped as a key source of income for telecoms companies, given the declining revenues from voice calls reported by the industry as a whole.

At least four regional operators are considering the launch of the next-generation services, which provide mobile download speeds of more than double the best connection offered by existing 3G networks.
