<br/><br/> Broadband Networks in the Middle East and North Africa re-emphasizes the important contribution that broadband Internet can make and assesses the status of existing nfrastructure in at least 18 MENA countries. While there is significant potential across the region, the take-up of broadband Internet has been slow and the price of broadband service is high in many countries. In large part, this stems from market structures that, too often, reflect the past when telecommunications were treated as a monopoly utility service.
