It has indicated that this ambition is in line with the project to efficiently provide populations with many public services via the Internet.\nIn 2018, the average internet speed in Egypt was 5.7 Mbps. In 2019, it increased to 15.5 Mbps. Amr Talaat said the goal is 40 Mbps in 2021. A goal he considers achievable since in March 2020 the country was able to reach a peak Internet speed of 30.9 Mbps.\nTo provide consumers with current Internet speed, the telecommunications minister has revealed that the government has already spent nearly $ 1.6 billion. This sum was also used to extend Internet coverage in the country. He added that nearly $ 400 million is still expected to be invested in connecting 2 million homes to broadband Internet.\nThe coronavirus-induced health crisis has demonstrated to Egypt the importance of quality connectivity across the country. It highlighted its need for effective continuity of operation, even at a distance, of the State and of society. Accelerating digital transformation is essential.\nSource Agence Ecofin June 2020\n","author":15,"featured_media":26153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5751,5753,6094,5824,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5600],"class_list":["post-28823","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-entrepriseslife","tag-internet","tag-new-technologies","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-egypt"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2QpPkeT","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"It is in any case the ambition of the government which has decided to invest more in quality connectivity. $ 1.6 billion has already been spent to reach the current 15.5 Mbps.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/illustration-internet-2-skitterphoto-550x360.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/illustration-internet-2-skitterphoto-550x360.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"Egypt: Egyptians expected to benefit from an average internet speed of 20 Mbps by the end of 2020","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.65,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/illustration-internet-2-skitterphoto-1014x658.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/07\/illustration-internet-2-skitterphoto-1014x658.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"Egypt: Egyptians expected to benefit from an average internet speed of 20 Mbps by the end of 2020","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.65,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
