Egypt Forum Recommends Doubling Basic Fixed Internet Allowance to 100GB

A recommendation to double Egypt’s basic fixed internet package to 100 gigabytes per month has been issued by the Egypt Forum, according to the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.

Mohamed Ibrahim, the authority’s deputy head and spokesperson, said the forum had recommended increasing the data allowance available under the basic package.

The proposal concerns fixed internet services rather than mobile data packages. It would increase the monthly allowance, not necessarily the connection speed.

Ibrahim’s reported remarks did not specify when the recommendation might be implemented or whether package prices would change. The announcement describes a recommendation, rather than a confirmed rollout.
