The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) in Egypt has refuted reports of a proposed 35 percent rise in internet and mobile service prices, stating that no such official decision has been made. Mohamed Ibrahim, a spokesperson for NTRA, affirmed on Tuesday that circulating rumors about the price hike are "incorrect so far."
He highlighted that the NTRA is actively monitoring the information and rumors surrounding telecommunications services and their costs, but any adjustments to prices will only be announced through official NTRA statements, which will provide specifics on the decision, the percentage increase, and its rationale. Ibrahim stressed the critical importance of relying on official sources for information on telecommunications prices, as unverified news often spreads online.
These comments come amid heightened interest in telecommunications and internet service prices in Egypt, due to the escalating costs of maintaining mobile and internet networks, coupled with the growing dependence on digital services in everyday life.
