Arab Finance: The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has directed fixed-line internet service providers to double the data allowance for the EGP 150 monthly subscription plan from 50 gigabytes to 100 gigabytes, at no additional cost, according to a statement.
The initiative, launched in coordination with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA), aims to promote digital inclusion, expand internet access, and ease the financial burden on citizens.
It will enable more people to benefit from digital services, accelerate Egypt’s digital transformation, and boost access to essential online services, particularly in education, healthcare, and government administration.
During the Digital Egypt session at the Egypt Forum 2026, Raafat Hendy outlined plans to establish five to seven mega data centers over the next four to five years, some of which are expected to be operational and serving international markets by 2030.
