The mobile market witnessed a decline in the number of its users in the past year, after the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) checked user data to remove unregistered lines. In addition, the high price of mobile lines up to EGP 70, as a result of imposing a new fee of EGP 50 per mobile line since the middle of last year, affected the number of mobile users.
