| description |
In the most general sense, convergence
is the integration of any traditionally segmented areas of
communications systems. Convergence is happening today in
Egypt, and is driven by the growth of digital media and
packet data communication. In specific terms, it is
essential that the Government of Egypt should create the
environment in which convergence can occur without
impediment. This will allow increased and risk-reduced
investment in the ICTs sector, positively influence
employment and industry growth, and enable Egypt to
establish itself as a hub for content and services for the
Arab world. Indirect impacts such as the effect on
employment in the ICT sector and in the upstream content
industry are more difficult to quantify without a detailed
analysis of these individual industries in Egypt. However,
the evidence from other countries indicates that these
sectors could be significant in terms of the contribution to
the economic output of the country and employment. Finally,
we also considered the overall impact of the sector on
economic growth in Egypt. It is not possible to isolate the
specific impact of convergence on economic growth. However,
to the extent that convergence leads to increased investment
and use of ICT, international evidence indicates that there
would be a positive impact on long-run rates of economic growth. |
