A study published in Al Arabiya looked at how 11 of Middle East’s largest cities have developed in terms of information
communication technology (ICT). Most of the cities surveyed show a high level of technology infrastructure and usage.
“Trends suggest that more than 60 percent of all people in the region will live in cities by 2030. The report shows high levels of ICT maturity in the MENA region in terms of infrastructure and usage and indicates the untapped opportunities to leverage the socioeconomic benefits,” said Anders Lindblad, Ericsson’s regional president, in a statement.
