Abstract
The Government of Egypt has recognized
broadband as being of strategic importance to the country´s
economic and social development and it is developing a new
strategy to develop access and use of broadband networks and
services. As a specific target of this strategy, the
government seeks to increase broadband penetration to 20
connections per 100 inhabitants by 2013. This report is the
result of the second part of the existing reimbursable
technical assistance on communications by which the World
Bank has been providing assistance to the government of
Egypt in the development of this broadband strategy. The
objective of this particular assignment is to support the
policy making process to develop broadband services and
infrastructure throughout Egypt and achieve substantial
economic impact in the economy including specific
intermediary sectors. This assignment builds of the outcomes
of the previously delivered study (strategic options for
broadband development, 2010) and it uses both qualitative
and quantitative approaches to provide specific advisory outputs.
