sectors in the Government to improve the quality of life for all citizens, and 5) Avoid an increased digital divide within Egypt. In order to achieve these objectives, multi-dimensional targets need to be attained. The first set of targets addresses availability and focuses on expanding the geographical coverage of the broadband infrastructure. This will allow citizens in coverage areas to subscribe to broadband services whenever needed. The second set of targets focuses on penetration and aims to increase the number of the broadband subscribers base. This is vital to reach the required critical mass that will lead to a sustainable growth cycle. Social targets are the third set of targets that focus on providing citizens in rural and non-economically viable areas with means to access broadband services. This aims at minimizing the digital divide within Egypt. 75% of households have access to Broadband (2 Mbps) 90% of households have access to Broadband (25 Mbps) 98% of population with 3G coverage 90% of population with 4G/LTE coverage Fixed 4.5 million (22%) households subscribed to broadband services 9 million (40%) households subscribed to broadband services Mobile Penetration Targets Long Term (2021) Mobile Availability Targets Short Term (2015) Fixed Targets 8 million (10%) citizens subscribed to mobile broadband services 14 million (15%) citizens subscribed to mobile broadband services   National/Social Targets 50% of Egyptian communities connected to 25 Mbps 50% of 3rd level Egyptian administrative localities (Sheyakha and Village) served with at least one Public Access Point with 25 Mbps   100% of Egyptian communities connected to 25 Mbps Each 3rd level Egyptian administrative locality (Sheyakha and Village) served with at least one Public Access Point with 25 Mbps Analyzing the broadband ecosystem in Egypt, it is clear that many constraints, if not addressed properly, will prevent the sector from meeting those national targets. These constraints can be divided into supply and demand constraints. Supply constraints have a direct effect that reduces the diffusion of broadband services. They include: 1) Limited effective competition in fixed broadband, 2) Service eMisr National Broadband Plan Executive Summary 10
