DUBLIN, January 19, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Brunei Darussalam – Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Brunei switches off its 2G GSM mobile networks in anticipation of 5G
Brunei's telecom regulator AITI shut down the nation's 2G network in June 2021. The spectrum will be reallocated to 3G and 4G use, with the potential for it also to be extended to 5G once the decision is made to enable those services.
Only a small number of mobile customers were still using GSM-only handsets, and the government along with the mobile network operators provided assistance to ease their transition over to newer 4G-capable models. Most of the rest of the country has been surviving well enough on 3G and 4G services provided by incumbent DSTCom and Progresif.
Following the release of universal operating licences in 2019, fixed network operator Imagine became the third mobile service provider in January 2020, entering an already saturated marketplace with (at the time) over 125% penetration.
Future growth is expected to come from the anticipated rollout of 5G mobile networks that may come as early as 2022. In such a small market (with a population of less than half a million), the economic viability of upgrading to 5G may still be in question.
But the government is forging ahead with several Proof of Concept (PoC) projects around the country to showcase 5G's capabilities, and they may be instrumental in driving the sector towards introducing very high-speed mobile services sooner rather than later.

Homeowners beware. But don't panic, either.
On Wednesday, the Fed bumped up interest rates again, its third 75-basis point hike since June, and signaled that there could be two more such hikes by the end of this year. The conventional wisdom has the Fed acting properly, and aggressively, in an attempt to counter inflation raging at 40-year high levels. But conventional wisdom isn’t always right – and we can learn a lot by consulting the contrarians. Few top investors are more contrarian than Cathie Wood. The founder and manager of ARK Inv
And what it means for your wealth-building options.
It's Friday morning — two days after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 0.75%, and one day after seemingly every other central bank in the world followed suit, according to The Wall Street Journal — and oil stocks are tanking. As of 9:50 a.m. ET, shares of oil company Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) are down 5.6%, while industry bellwether ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM) is down a solid 6%, and refiner Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) is leading the pack lower with a 6.7% loss.
Shares of virtually all oil and gas stocks crashed today, with even those regarded as among the "safest" oil and gas stocks plunging in value. Diversified integrated major and Warren Buffett favorite Chevron (NYSE: CVX) fell 5%, pipeline company Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) fell 5.3%, and shale explorer and producer Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ: FANG) fell a whopping 9.5% as of 1:15 p.m. ET. All of these oil and gas-related stocks seem to be following the plunge in oil prices, as November oil futures fell 5.5% at that time to $78.90 as of this writing, similar to the first two stocks.

(Bloomberg) — Next week’s elections in Brazil pose a challenge to Petrobras investors. Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the front-runner, has vowed to use the company as a vehicle for national development. Incumbent Jair Bolsonaro, who’s fighting for a come-from-behind upset, is proposing the complete opposite, with plans to privatize the state-run giant.Most Read from BloombergBank of England Says Paper Banknotes Only Good for One More WeekJapan to Restore Visa-Free Travel From Oct.
Shares of the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE: NIO) were falling this morning on seemingly no company-specific news. Instead, the EV stock is likely falling as the broader market responds to soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes. Investors are getting increasingly concerned about the potential for a global recession, and that sentiment is likely contributing to Nio's share price decline today. The stock fell by as much as 4.9% today and was down by 2.5% as of 11:09 a.m. ET.
Boeing (NYSE: BA) made a big move to put part of its troubled past behind it, but the aerospace manufacturer also apparently has fallen out of favor with what had been a key customer in China. Boeing has taken its investors on a turbulent ride over the past few years. The company's 737 MAX, which was once billed as having the potential to be the top-selling aircraft of all time, was involved in fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 that led to the plane being grounded for 18 months and prompted a comprehensive review of Boeing's engineering and safety practices.
Shares of recreational vehicle (RV) company Camping World Holdings (NYSE: CWH) crashed on Friday, after an analyst lowered their price target in a research note. As of 1:10 p.m. ET, Camping World stock was down 10%. Truist analyst Michael Swartz has been busily researching the state of the RV market, which led him to lower his target price for Camping World stock.

Word spread quickly yesterday that almost 1.1 million Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) vehicles were being recalled. At the morning's lows, Tesla shares were down just shy of 5%. The stock market isn't always efficient, but simple math indicates that the recall isn't the reason Tesla shares have dropped for a second straight day.
