Description: An executive summary to the eMisr National Broadband Plan.

ICT has been a part of Egypt's national development strategy for the past decade, and the Government has been developing a framework to move the country into the information age, through promoting partnerships of public, private, civil society, and multilateral stakeholders. However, the reform wave has stimulated the Egyptian government to speed up the deployment of services and enhance the current broadband infrastructure. The tremendous demand for more bandwidth coupled with consumers' appetite for video-content, news, and multi-media services have led the NTRA to introduce a new ICT strategy for broadband: the “eMisr National Broadband Plan”.
