Egypt’s Internet presence increasing | Bikya Masr
CAIRO: Less than ten years ago, the Egyptian government established the ministry of technology and has been showing its teeth in new and innovative projects that are pushing the country into the Internet age. Although it has been somewhat of a teetering ride, as of August 2007, six million Egyptians were regular Internet users. The number seems small, that is only 8.3 percent of the population, but optimistically speaking, that is a major increase from the 450,000 users only 7 years ago.
Government ministries are currently in the process of conducting major makeovers to their websites in an effort to reel in more clients and make access easier, despite the pessimism across the web.
