The Communications and Information Technology sector in the State of Qatar is witnessing a great expansion that seeks to transform Qatar to an information society achieving prosperity and well-being for everyone on both social and economic levels, which is in line with the broader national objectives of Qatar Government outlined in the Qatar National Vision 2030.
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) has been working restlessly on improving data access through offering high-speed internet networks, as well as on developing a market attracting businesses that are concerned with increasing the volume of the digital Arabic content on the internet.
MCIT is also working on the execution of e-Government programs, and creating an active, vital and secure sector that contributes to enhancing a diversified national economy benefiting all individuals and institutions in the State of Qatar, toward building a knowledge society based on the digital economy.
The quick and continuous growth of the Communications and Information Technology sector requires the availability of communications infrastructure that enables companies and individuals to use and apply the modern technology easily. In addition, there should be precise and developed security measures that ensure a completely smooth user experience process.
It is noteworthy that the main telecom service providers, Ooredoo and Vodafone, offer users with a wide range of services, including telephone, wireless and internet communications.
