Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT)
Oman’s TMT sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by market restructuring, technological convergence and the introduction of innovative and disruptive technologies. AMJ has the breadth and depth of TMT expertise that comes from decades of experience and close familiarity with the industries and government policies shaping this dynamic sector.
In the telecommunications sphere, our lawyers advise government bodies, regulators, telecommunications operators, mobile resellers and innovators. We have detailed knowledge of the regulations governing infrastructure, access, interconnection, licensing, numbering, tariffs and unfair competition across all network types, having assisted in drafting Oman’s Telecommunications Law and its implementing regulations. We also advise on the increasing convergence of telecommunications with IT, financial services, media, education and healthcare.
Our technology practice supports clients at the forefront of innovation and regulatory change, as improvements in network connectivity spur the adoption of next-generation solutions including smart city platforms, data centres, cloud services, e-payment systems, Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems and advanced cybersecurity, privacy and data protection frameworks.
Our lawyers advise regulators, suppliers and end-users across a broad range of hardware and software technologies — from electronic civil ID systems and digital payments infrastructure to complex communication networks.
On the media front, our team draws on strong experience in traditional media, broadcasting, content regulation and intellectual property, complemented by our deep telecommunications and technology capabilities. We assist clients in navigating regulatory requirements, licensing regimes, commercial contracts, rights management, distribution arrangements and disputes.
AMJ’s cross-practice expertise in corporate, commercial, capital markets, M&A, finance, intellectual property, regulation, tax, employment and dispute resolution in association with Said Al Busaidy & Co. allows us to deliver a seamless, fully integrated service to TMT clients operating in an increasingly complex and heavily regulated environment.
