Egypt Partakes in Facilitating Access to ICT Services in Rural and Remote Areas Workshop

National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA), participates in Facilitating Access to ICT Services in Rural and Remote Areas. The workshop takes place on March 13 to 14 in Amman, Jordan, under the patronage of Jordanian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC), and in concert with GSMA.

The agenda is built on outcomes and recommendations of the fourteenth meeting of Arab Regulators Network of Telecommunications and Information Technologies (AREGNET), held in Amman on 25 till 27 April 2016, in which NTRA participated. 

The workshop discusses a series of activities and events organized by TRC during its presidency of AREGNET, through which it sought to promote capacity building and exchange of knowledge and experiences among member states.

Strengthening and facilitating access to ICTs is one of the Arab region priorities, especially with the wide remote areas in most of Arab countries. During the workshop, NTRA showcases the Egyptian ICT sector’s distinct efforts in this regard. NTRA also seeks to identify the most prominent solutions and emerging best practices in tackling this issue, in order to take advantage of them in developing the national framework to cope with international practices
