Egypt's internet subscribers increased by 170,000 in March 2011
Subscribers climb nearly 40 per cent year-on-year, as a fall in mobile and fixed line use is countered by a high uptake in USB and ADSL connections

The number of Egypt's internet subscribers increased by 170,000 during March 2011, to reach 24.15 million by the end of the month, growing by 0.7 per cent month-on-month and 38.5 per cent year-on-year, Al Mal newspaper reported.
Mobile internet subscribers plunged to 8.19 million by the end of March 2011, falling by 2.3 per cent m-o-m and increasing by 90.3 per cent y-o-y, according to a report published by the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology, in cooperation with Telecom Egypt.
The number of USB Modem internet subscribers, on the other hand, went up to 1.78 million users, increasing by 6.68 per cent m-o-m and 177.82 per cent y-o-y.
The number of ADSL (broadband) subscribers reached 1.49 million, up by 3.2 per cent m-o-m and 34.7 per cent y-o-y.
In terms of internet services' market share, mobile internet and USB Modem dominated, with a market share of 41 per cent, followed by ADSL with 34 per cent, ISDN and dial-up with 13 per cent, and leased line users with 12 per cent of the internet market share.
The number of fixed line subscribers declined to 9.7 million, down marginally by 0.02 per cent m-o-m, 91 per cent of which were represented by household subscribers, followed by 7 per cent in commercial users, and 2 per cent in governmental users.
Last month, court documents obtained by Ahram Online revealed that the former government's decision to cut mobile, SMS and internet services in Egypt on 28 January wasn't a spontaneous action triggered by the mass demonstrations but was planned long before the events.
