The Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Telecom Company(ITC), Engineer Mohammed Saqr stated that the challenges facing the telecom industry in KSA impose the necessity of integrating the private and public sectors and all concerned governmental bodies to tackle these challenges, especially the deregulation of the sector and opening it for global competition.
Additionally, the integration will help the development of a digital community driven by Saudi educational, governmental and investment bodies and in return, lead to the success of the e-government project across the Kingdom.
The telecom industry, Saqr confirmed, is witnessing radical changes on the regional and global levels. These changes occur due to increased competition between local and global operators and the need for advanced services by businesses and consumers. Such services include entertainment, content, Internet Protocol telephony, video on demand and remote collaboration.
It is worth mentioning that Engineer Mohammed Saqr has a wealth of experience in Information Technology and telecommunications. He previously held managerial positions in a number of regional and global corporations like Emirates Telecom, Motorola and Fastlink. As the CEO of Integrated Telecom Company, his duties include developing and executing the company’s strategic plans, reinforcing its marketing and commercial capabilities and positioning Integrated Telecom Company as one the high-profile companies in the region.
