The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA), established under Law No. 10 of 2003, is the national authority responsible for managing and regulating the telecommunications sector in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
Given the rapid growth of the telecommunications sector in Egypt and in line with the state's ambitious plans to establish numerous smart cities, the NTRA has issued a new regulatory framework for the establishment, operation, and leasing of in-building wireless infrastructure. The presence of a neutral operator to manage this infrastructure will significantly contribute to realizing Egypt's vision of transforming into an advanced digital society, opening up new avenues for economic growth.
This regulatory framework aims to encourage investment in the establishment and leasing of shared infrastructure for mobile networks within buildings. By improving coverage and service quality inside buildings, this framework will enable companies to provide better services to their customers and allow individuals to enjoy a seamless digital experience anywhere.
The Egyptian telecommunications market is one of the largest in Africa and the Middle East, and it is highly dynamic. With four major companies already competing in the market and serving over 100 million subscribers, there is significant potential for growth, development, and fostering a competitive environment for telecommunications services.
