Jordan Telecom will liberalise its fixed line network by the end of this year, the first Arab country to do so. It's hoped increased competition will help lower prices and make services such as broadband internet more accessible to Jordanians. Broadband is still in its infancy in Jordan, with only around four thousand customers. Laurent Mialet, CEO of Jordan Telecom, says the target is to have one line in six connected to ADSL by 2007.
