Gulf's telecoms connections redraw world map


Qatar-based Gulf Bridge International (GBI) is a new broadband fibre network connecting all the states in the Arabian Gulf region with Europe, Asia and Africa.

The GBI chief executive Ahmed Mekky says mobile usage in India is increasing and this is "driving up international capacity requirements from India. The GBI cable will help to address this increasing demand … Our cable system is the only cable system to provide direct connectivity from India to all the countries of the Gulf".

Increased adoption of mobile communications is driving massive growth in developing countries such as India.

As the UAE market matures, other markets such as India and China now show massive growth potential.
