Blycroft 2007 Blycroft's mobile operator subscriber database permits the presentation of the data in a variety of ways to allow readers to discern emerging trends and longer term developments. In this analysis we looked at Middle East Mobile Group Market Share as at 1Q 2007. For this analysis we show the full subscriber numbers for each individual operator that forms part of a Group. By way of illustration, Zantel’s subscriber base is attributed in full to Etisalat, on the basis that although Etisalat has a minority holding, it is the largest stakeholder. In recognition of its market position, and also to avodi the ‘double counting’of subscribers, Vodacom is shown as a Group, despite a significant stake in the business being held by Vodafone. This data can be reworked to show the equity interest, and so allow readers to highlight the major acquisitions and disposals of equity on a quarterly basis. This enables the tracking of investment strategies of the main investors within the market.
