Ooredoo Oman and Oman Broadband (OBB) have signed an agreement to connect remote regions with fixed broadband internet under an initiative of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA). The parties will provide quality satellite bitstream to previously under-served areas in a number of governates across the Sultanate.
The project is part of Oman's Vision 2040, the gateway to becoming a developed country with a knowledge-based economy and society. Through the agreement with Ooredoo and Oman Broadband, the TRA aims to provide service to approximately 325 villages, and hopes to build on these efforts and eventually deliver such services throughout Oman.
