The following considerations were taken into account in drafting the strategy and policies: Flexibility; in responding to the increasing demand for telecom services, through a continuous support for the development of the ICT infrastructure. This can be facilitated by market studies determining the priority needs of consumers and the business sector. Ubiquitous access; expanding the use of ICTs for development. This can be achieved by availing the ICT infrastructure in marginalized areas, reaching out to Arabic speakers, and providing support for SMEs, which can play an important role in ICT service exports and the production of Arabic digital content. Quantification: putting quantifiable objectives whose progress is easy to monitor. MCIT will review the policies of the strategy and make modifications as and when required, in accordance with government policies and priorities, in response to relevant developments in the ICT and innovation field. The Civil Society: A number of other policies are already adopted and implemented by civil society view their popularity among citizens. Thus, they are better diffused through NGOs. These policies include: 1- Mobile Phone Applications 2- Arabic Digital Content 3- Empowering people with disabilities The Private Sector: Other policies concern the private sector in particular as the main beneficiary and adopter, and thus should be diffused through it first, such as the e-commerce policies. The ICT policies are divided into three groups according to the audiences they address: The government sector: Certain policies should be diffused through the government sector first, as the main demand driving sector of the state, including its various agencies and institutions, and in view of its business size and diversified activities. The diffusion of the policies through the government sector ensures their dissemination and spread, especially if they are new in nature. The government sector is the first place where such policies can be incubated, and adopted at their inception phase, before being adopted by the private sector and civil society. These policies include the following: 1- Cloud Computing 2- Digital Identity Management 3- Open Source Software 4- Access to Information 5- Green ICT 6- Arabic Digital Content 2 3
