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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGO3GADSLAGRICULTUREANTENNAANTENNAEAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGYASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINEATMAUTOMATIONBACK OFFICEBACK-OFFICEBACKBONEBANDWIDTHBASICBENCHMARKBENCHMARKSBOOK VALUEBROADBANDBROADBAND ACCESSBROADBAND CONNECTIONSBROADBAND CONNECTIVITYBROADBAND INVESTMENTSBROADBAND NETWORKBROADBAND NETWORKSBROADBAND SERVICEBROADBAND SERVICESBUSINESS CASESBUSINESS DECISIONBUSINESS FUNCTIONSBUSINESS OPERATIONSBUSINESS PROCESSBUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCINGBUSINESSESCAPCAPABILITYCAPITAL EXPENDITURECASH FLOWCDMACIRCUITCODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESSCODESCOLLABORATIONCOLLABORATION PLATFORMSCOMMUNICATION SECTORCOMMUNICATION SERVICESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNITIESCOMPUTERSCOMPUTINGCONNECTIVITYCPECUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENTCUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPCUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENTCUSTOMER SERVICEDATA COMMUNICATIONSDATA MANAGEMENTDATA RATEDATA RATESDATA SERVICESDEBTDECISION MAKINGDECISION MAKING PROCESSDECISION-MAKINGDEVELOPMENT AGENCYDEVELOPMENT OF BROADBANDDIGITALDIGITAL NETWORKDIGITAL SUBSCRIBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINESDSLECOMMERCEECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMIES OF SCALEELECTRICITYELECTRONIC COMMERCEELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONEND USEREND-USERENTERTAINMENTEQUIPMENTEXPECTED RETURNEXPORTSFINANCIAL SECTORFORECASTSFRAMEWORK FOR E-COMMERCEFREQUENCY BANDFUNCTIONALITYGDPGDP PER CAPITAGEOGRAPHIC REGIONGEOGRAPHIC REGIONSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHIGH-SPEEDHIGH-SPEED ACCESSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RESOURCESICTIMAGINGINCOMEINCOME LEVELSINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRYINNOVATIONINPUT DATAINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONSINTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORKINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONSINTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERINTERNET SERVICESINTEROPERABILITYINTRINSIC VALUEIPISDNISPISPSITULANLEARNINGLICENSELICENSE FEESLICENSESLITERACYLOCAL AREA NETWORKMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANUFACTURINGMARKET SEGMENTMARKET SEGMENTSMARKETINGMEDICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMSMICROWAVE SYSTEMSMOBILE DEVICESMOBILE SERVICEMOBILE SERVICESMOBILE TELEPHONYMODEMSMODULATIONMULTIPLE ACCESSMULTIPLIERSNETWORK INFRASTRUCTURENETWORK TECHNOLOGYNETWORKINGONLINE SERVICESOPEN ACCESSOPTICAL FIBERSOPTIMIZATIONOUTSOURCINGOVERHEAD COSTSPACE OF INNOVATIONPENETRATION OF BROADBANDPERFORMANCE INDICATORPHONEPRICE LEVELSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMSPROTOCOLPROTOCOLSPUBLISHINGRADIOREAL TIMERESULTRESULTSRETAIL TRADESEARCHSENSITIVITY ANALYSISSERVICE PROVIDERSSITESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOFTWARE APPLICATIONSSPREADSHEETSTMSUBSCRIBER LINESSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTSUPPLY CHAINSTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNOLOGY COMPONENTSTECHNOLOGY PLATFORMTECHNOLOGY STANDARDTELECOMTELECOM SECTORTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATION SERVICESTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKTELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTORTELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICESTELECOMMUNICATIONS STRATEGYTELEMEDICINETELEPHONETELEPHONE COMPANIESTELEPHONE LINESTELEPHONE PENETRATIONTELEPHONYTELEPHONY SERVICESTELEVISIONTERMINALSTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRANSACTION SYSTEMSTRANSMISSIONTRANSMISSION LINESTROUGHUNIVERSAL SERVICEUSERUSER GROUPSUSERSUSESVALUATIONVALUE CHAINSVIDEOVIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKVOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOLVOIPVSATWANWIDE AREA NETWORKWIRELESSWIRELESS ACCESSWIRELESS TECHNOLOGIESWIRELESS TECHNOLOGYWORLD TRADEWORLD TRADE ORGANIZATIONWORLDWIDE WEBWTOWorld Bank10.1596/12690
