A Comparative View of 4G, 5G, and FTTx Plans in Oman

This IDC Market Perspective presents a comparative view of Omani telecom operators’ data-only tariff plans. It compares Oman’s position, in the context of these offerings, to other 5G-live countries, including Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and South Africa. IDC has calculated the median values of the monthly plan prices, GB prices, and data usage limits for 4G, 5G, and fiber-to-the-"x" (FTTx) data plans. The report compares the Omani plans with the combined median values of plans across the region. Each country included in this research series is covered in a separate study.“The potential is huge for the growth of 5G in Oman. Telecom operators must increase their efforts to expand 5G coverage. Demand will be huge for high-speed internet connectivity as users move away from traditional services and adopt new, digital-based, government and essential services. The possession of a strong 5G network can spur economic growth and help the government realize its national vision, particularly as Oman is now amid a rapid digitalization journey.” — Research Analyst Suraj Godse, IDC Telecom and IT Services
