Ahmed Badawy, head of the Communications and Information Technology Committee in the Egyptian House of Representatives, announced upcoming meetings with the heads of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) and Telecom Egypt to address inquiries regarding internet usage and packages.

According to media reports, Badawy said the meetings will focus on internet packages, with both entities providing detailed briefings in response to public inquiries. He added that the outcomes will be announced directly to the public.

He noted that the meetings will also review plans to develop infrastructure and improve internet services in Egypt.

Badawy emphasized that internet access has become an essential service for citizens across various sectors, including education, healthcare, and transportation.

Internet services in Egypt have recently faced growing public scrutiny amid complaints about the rapid depletion of data packages.

In April 2025, active mobile subscriptions in Egypt reached 116.2 million, up from 109 million a year earlier, marking a 6.57 percent increase, according to figures from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
