ICT IN EGYPT

  Since the creation of the ICT ministry in 1999, Egypt seeks to develop partnerships with international investors to develop its ICT landscape. Egypt increased the number of fixed phone lines to 8 million with an annual growth rate of 1.06%; mobile subscribers surpass 90 million; total internet subscriptions including mobile internet users, ADSL users, and USB Modem users exceeds 15 million users. The number of companies working in the ICT field reached 5129, employing 217.19 thousand professionals [9]. Although Egypt e-Government program was launched in 2001, ICT has not been implemented heavily in all government branches and citizens do not have access to all information regarding the process on which the government functions.
