DUBAI—Egypt's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology will pay domestic mobile-phone operators 100 million Egyptian pounds ($16.8 million) in compensation for the disruption of services during the revolution earlier this year, a spokesman said Sunday.

"The 100 million [Egyptian pounds] will go to mobile operators and Internet providers," the ministry's spokesman told Zawya Dow Jones by telephone, confirming comments by Egypt's Telecommunications Minister Maged Osman carried by the country's state news agency earlier Sunday.
