An Arab Advisors Group report on the Jordanian Internet and telecom industry, concludes that the market is showing early signs of maturity and predicts strong growth ahead in the coming few years. 

 

The group said that the number of Internet subscribers in Jordan today stands at approximately 35,000 subscribers, while the number of users already exceeds 100,000 users.  

 

"The relatively early entry of Internet access into Jordan, coupled with the distinctively rich pool of IT skilled human resources, and some exceptional entrepreneurship efforts, have all helped Jordan secure an early mover advantage in the content segment," says Ahmed Naser, a senior analyst at Arab Advisors Group. 

 

According to AAG’s Jordan Internet Landscape Report, the success of early movers in the country has encouraged the emergence of more specialized B2B and content plays over the past year. — (Albawaba-MEBG)
