If you have ever been to Egypt you will have been stunned by the sheer number of people who have Broadband which is quite an expensive service everywhere! However, we Egyptians are caring beings and believe in loving our neighbours so households share internet connections and split the cost. This socially acceptable ‘fad’ was recently proven by the ‘Egypt Households Telecoms and Media Survey Report 2008'. The survey basically showed that nearly 1 million households in Egypt have access to ADSL which is great news for a somewhat ‘developing company’.
