Only ve employees worked at ictQATAR when we opened our doors
in 2005. Today, we have 180 people on our t eam. With tremendous
cooperation rom the rest o the government, we have built ictQATAR
rom a vision into an inn ovative orce that improves lives and makes our
country a better place to do business.
In this short time, we have begun to realize the rewards o in ormation
and communication technology (ICT). Qatars telecommunications sector
now o ers a second mobile provider in the marketplace. This competition
will provide choice to consumers and will drive innovation in products
and services while o ering the public better quality, service, and value.
By connecting people to government th rough the new e-government
portal, Hukoomi, ictQATAR helps nurture democratic prin ciples. Now
people o all ages and income levels can access the same in ormation
about government policy and services any time day or night. We support
the countrys ambitious education re orm by helping open students
eyes to a world o ideas and concepts. Technology allows adult learners
to keep growing intellectually and pro essionally so their careers advance
and prosper. Every day, ICT supports the economy as it expands, deepens,
and diversi es, allowing Qatar to compete against economic power-
houses throughout the world. Because o technology, people with a dream
and a good idea can start or expand small and medium-sized businesses,
connecting securely to customers and suppliers all over the globe.
In so many ways, technology lights the path to a brighter, better uture
or everybody who lives and works in Qatar. We have just begun our
astonishing journey.

The Supreme Council o In ormation &Communication Technology (ictQATAR)
connects people to the technologiesthat enrich their lives, drive economic
development, and inspire con dence in theuture. Established in 2004 as the nations
ICT policy and regulatory body, ictQATARsresponsibility is to support Qatars ambitiousvision to achieve social and political change
while advancing global competitiveness.
Already, ICT is bene ting those who liveand work in Qatar in countless ways.
Children and adults learn more creatively.Businesses o all sizes are discovering newe ciencies and new markets. Government
is more responsive. And trans ormation inhealthcare is under way.
In just a ew years, these accomplishments have supported Qatars
rise to a ranking o 32nd among 127 nations in the 200708 Networked
Readiness Index produced by the World Economic Forum andINSEAD. This ranking squarely places Qatar as a regional leader.
When ictQATAR was established, His Highness the Emir invested
the Council with two authorities:
As the countrys independent and air regulator, ictQATAR
protects consumers and businesses rom un air practices as
Qatar transitions to a competitive telecoms market.
As the government body that nurtures innovative technologies to
beneft those who live and work in Qatar, ictQATAR connects
citizens to government and helps people o all ages and incomelevels become com ortable with technology so they can achieve
their personal and pro essional goals. A strategic partnership
between ictQATAR and Microso t strengthens ICT initiatives in
healthcare, education, and other sectors.
ictQATARs accomplishments include opening the countrys
telecommunications market to competition; launching an easy-to-use
online portal to government in ormation and services; raising awareness
o the power o ICT through a national in ormation campaign, The
promise o e; and preparing or the uture through the creation and
adoption o a comprehensive three-year strategic plan.
And ictQATAR has only begun to bring improvements t o every aspect
o li e in Qatar. In the years ahead, an increasingly vibrant, innovative
ICT sector will uel Qatars economy and secure an even brighter
tomorrow or Qatars amilies.

8/9/2019 ictQATAR's First Annual Report 2007
5/16
In order to achieve this p romise or all, ictQATAR approved a
three-year master plan that details ICT programs and projects
through 2010. All activities are ramed by an environment,readiness, and usage (ERU) model. Within this ramework,
ICT-driven change occurs by creating the right environment
through conducive market conditions, appropriate policies,
and essential in rastructureall to increase the readine ss o
citizens, businesses, and government. In order to ensure
broad usage, ICT decision making is based on developing use ul
applications and sector-speci c content .
The ERU model has led to the creation o nine core national
programs that support individual initiatives. These programs
include state-o -the-art in rastructure development; capability-building; regulatory and legal rameworks; in ormation sa ety
and security; societal inclusiveness; and ICT in the priority areas
o education, health, government, and business.

The Power of Choice: Telecoms Liberalization
Liberalization o the telecommunications sector has been a priority or
ictQATAR since the rst days o the Councils existence. And a ter a
care ul, ordered, transparent process, in 2007 ictQATAR nally ended
the countrys monopoly in telecommunications products and services.
The open process included consultation and expression o interest
stages. A second mobile license was awarded to a Voda one and Qatar
Foundation consortium to provide mobile service to business and
individual consumers. This rst step in liberalizing the telecommunica-tions industry means consumers will bene t as companies compete
or their business.
When the process began, 17 providers rom throughout the world
expressed interest in entering Qatars market. ictQATARs regulatory
sta evaluated the companies to ensure they met speci c technical,
nancial, and operational criteria be ore the nal list o renowned
providers competed against one another in an auction process. A similar
process is under way or the awarding o the xed-line license.
In its role o regulator, and with a consumer protection mandate,
ictQATAR is developing a ull regulatory ramework that includes
dominance designation and conditions; interconnection and access
rules; regulatory cost accounting; tari policy; spectrum and number
policies; consumer protection; and dispute resolution. Other areas
that will come under its ocus will be electronic transactions
legislation, the application o UNCITRAL principles, domain name
procedures, and e-government processes.

The Power o Connected Government: Hukoomi
Qatars leadership is dedicated to making government wo rk e ectively
and e ciently or residents, citizens, and visitors. A nationwide e ort
is under way to integrate a customer- ocused approach to every aspect
o running the government in order to reduce redundancies, increase
transparency, and heighten e ciency.
As part o this commitment, in 2007 ictQATAR worked with Ministries
and Councils to make government more responsive to the people it serves.
The centerpiece o this collaboration was the launching o Hukoomi,
a new, modern, online portal to Qatars government. Built on the success
o Qatars ormer e-government siteintegrated into ictQATAR in
2005Hukoomi gives those who live and work in Qatar easy, 24-hour
access to expanded government in ormation and online services.
At any time, citizens and residents do everything rom paying tra c ees
to hunting or a new job. Business owners can register their enterprise
online and access in ormation and services about work visas and
business operating laws. And visitors to Qatar have a one-stop center
or in ormation on tourist visas, cultural events, and accommodations.

Qatars leadership understood that competition would bring value to
consumers and spur development o the advanced products and services
needed to support a growing, diverse economy. Three objectiveshave driven Qatars telecommunications liberalization:
Foster an e cient telecommunications sector to ben e t society
Create a showcase or success ul sector re orm
Provide a sustainable business environment
In three years, ictQATAR will review the state o the telecommunications
market. At that time, we may determine that the market can sustain
additional mobile and xed-line operators and once again initiate
licensing procedures.

ties to security partners around the world in order to share up-to-date
in ormation about threats and vulnerabilities.
Working with the community and public and private institutions,
Q-CERT raises awareness o cyber-security threats and risks. Q-CERTs
mandate includes:
Build incident response capability
Create broad capabilities to monitor cyber-security developments
Work with critical organizations to establish and improve risk
management practices
In 2007, Q-CERT cooperated with government agencies, schools,
organizations, businesses o all sizes, and Qatars citizens to understand
and manage cybersecurity risks. ictQATAR and Q-CERT are committed to
protecting sensitive in ormation and ensuring the sa ety o our children on
social networking and all other sites on the Internet.
Approximately 100 people representing the Arab States and other nations
throughout the world traveled to Doha in early 2008 to participate
in the International Telecommunication Unions Regional Workshop on
Frameworks or Cybersecurity and Critical In ormation In rastructure
Protection. During the meeting, i ctQATAR and Q-CERT conducted a
cybersecurity orensics workshop or representatives rom the region to
discuss challenges and best practices, develop rameworks or cyber-
security, and share in ormation on development activities. In ternational
meetings such as these are crucial because the interconnection o modern
societies creates interdependencies and risks that must be managed at
the national, regional, and global levels.

Hukoomi is a historic milestonethe rst time that more than 50 entities
across the government came together online. Hukoomi will help businesses
improve productivity and compete in the marketplace. And it will improveconvenience and satis action in the daily lives o everyone in Qatar.
In 2007, ictQATAR worked with the State Audit Bureau to develop online
business services or launch in 2008 as a pilot program. The services
will streamline the tendering process or companies and rms o all sizes
seeking to do business with Qatars government. E-tendering and
e-auctioning services will improve the tendering process, while increasing
government transparency and airness by providing all potential bidders
the same in ormation at the same time.
Next year, Hukoomi is expected to add seven new innovative services.
A total o 52 state-o -the-art e-government programs will be implemented
over the next three years, including many online services to bene t citizens
and households as well as businesses and government employees.
The Power o Sa ety: Cybersecurity
For Qatar, in ormation security and the sa ety o young and adult
Internet users is an absolute priority. To sa eguard users as well as to
protect government in ormation and systems, ictQATAR in 2005 orged
a partnership with Carnegie Mellons So tware Engineering Institute
(CERT Coordination Center) to establish the Qatar Computer Emergency
Response Team (Q-CERT). By 2007, Q-CERT, now the nations center or
in ormation security, grew into a team o more than 30 pro essionals
who brought security expertise and experience rom around the world.
Q-CERT passed an independent evaluation and met the requirements to

access to 4,000 courses in Arabic, French, and English. The courses are
accredited by renowned international bodies. In 2008, e-Portal will be
available to 5,000 adults.
The Power o Wellness: e-Health
A pillar o Qatars ambitious national agenda is commitment to providing
world-class healthcare to the entire population. The healthcare sector has
seen a concerted e ort by government to build not only state-o -the-art
in rastructure but also strong institutions and rameworks to act as
catalysts in bringing the bene ts o e-health services to people in Qatar.
In ormation technology is a cornerstone o an e ective and responsive

The Power o Learning: e-Education and e-Literacy
Qatar has made quality education a priority. It is the countrys goal to build
a modern, world-class education system that allows citizens to develop
their potential while respecting our societys values. In 2007, integrated
ICT technology deepened and expanded the learning experience or
everyone rom children in kindergarten to pro essionals who want to
improve their credentials.
ictQATAR collaborated with the Suprem e Education Council to boost
student achievement, involve parents in the educational process, and
open the world to students o all ages. And as people bene ted rom
the ollowing programs, they gained invaluable ICT experience.
School Knowledge Network, a unique three-way portal connects students,
parents, and teachers any time. Knowledge Network has been implemented
in 37 middle and high schools. It permits three-way communication and a
way or students to submit homework assignments or parents to instant
message teachers to nd out about coursework or upcoming tests.
Global Gateway, a collaboration with the British Council, allows
teachers and their students to collaborate with counterparts around the
world. Whether they conduct experiments, discuss global issues, or
learn rsthand how people live in other countries, the classroom experi-
ence has become more innovative and lively. Teachers at 54 schools are
now trained to use Global Gateway.
Model e-School, introduced in two middle schools, encourages class-
room creativity and innovation. Refecting worldwide best practices,
e-learning blends with traditional classroom methods to create dynamic
experiences and activities. An example is e-Schoolbag, a tablet PC or
school and home that contains interactive content, digital textbooks,
and other tools.

Over the next three years, ictQATAR will collaborate with the private and
public sectors to roll out 21 e-business initiatives to help SMEs thrive. Our
plan is based on exhaustive analysis o market conditions and interactionwith stakeholders across the business landscape. The initial ocus is on
heightening awareness o the added value o ICT to small and medium-sized
enterprises. A ter this education phase, ictQATAR will support the provision
o business resources, ICT applications, and SME development activities.
Through the rst phase and beyond, ictQATAR will sponsor Business
Connect, a series o seminars bringing businesses and ICT development
together. Business Connect seminars highlight relevant ICT in ormation
and provide a orum to share success stories. Another program ostering
adoption o ICT in the business community, particularly during the rst
phase, is the SME e-Business Pilot. A pilot group o SMEs will be selectedand will be guided through an 18-month program designed to increase
e-maturity. SME leaders will participate in training and partner with other
companies in order to bene t rom ICT-related services. Seasoned IT coaches
will acilitate the program and address concerns o business leaders.
The Power o Connectivity: iPark
In early 2007, ictQATAR and the Ministry o Municipality and Agricultural
A airs partnered to provide ree wireless access in three parks in Doha.
The Internet Parks Initiative, known as iPark, allows people to email, chat,or sur the Internet any time at Sheraton Park, Al-Bidda Park, and Dahl-
Alhamam Park. In the rst hal o 2008 alone, more than 26,000 people
bene ted rom iPark.

healthcare services were launched as part o the development o an
integrated national health in ormation plat orm. This plat ormincluding
a secure electronic health recordwill revolutionize how healthcare isdelivered. Quick, accurate, and up-to-date medical records and in orma-
tion will be available at the point o care. The result will be better patient
sa ety and healthcare quality.
This is just the beginning. ictQATAR is collaborating with its healthcare
partners to create advanced primary care clinical and emergency depart-
ment systems. Both will improve the quality o patient care and increase
clinician productivity.
The Power o Job Creation: Small and Medium-sized
Enterprises
As part o our promise to help drive economic development and inspire
con dence in the uture, ictQATAR works to oster a technology- riendly
environment or small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). These
important enterprises, employing rom one to 99 people, operate across
all sectors and contribute to productivity at every in come level. In todays
global economy, the ability o SMEs to leverage technology is crucial.
ictQATAR is helping these b usinesses adopt the technologies that will
contribute to successultimately translating into new jobs, increased
regional competitiveness, and deeper e conomic diversity.
Technology allows business leaders to nd new markets or goods and
services and discover the most e cient suppliers w herever they are.
Technology helps managers make in ormed decisions based on substan-
tive acts and gures. However large or small a business, technology
enhances per ormance, competitiveness, and revenue.

Students in Zaher Al Askars classroom at the Muhammed Bin Abdul Wahab Secondary
School or Boys learn English so they are prepared to th rive in a global economy. But
thanks to Global Gateway, the boys discover much more than spelling and vocabulary.
ictQATAR, in partnership with the Supreme Education Council, introduced GlobalGateway to independent schools. An online teaching tool that connects classrooms
around the world, Global Gateway makes it possible or teachers to share ideas and
best practices. Global Gateway connects students, too, allowing them to virtually
cross thousands o miles to debate issues, help one another understand di erent
worldviews, and as Zaher says, see that knowledge has no end.
For example, Zaher is likely to write the English word or poverty on the blackboard
and ask his boys to come up with English words or the results o poverty. Then, his
students can use Global Gateway to talk virtually to boys their age in A rica about the
pain o disease and war. Global Gateway also allows Zahers students to see photos
o A rican amilies and even hear bird and animal sounds that are very di erentrom what they know in Qatar.
Zaher says these personal glimpses across the world develop his students characters
as well as their minds. He watches them become more empathetic and compassionate
as they learn. And that trans ormation is what knowledge is all about. Part o being
human is exploring human relationships with many di erent people. There is no such
thing as one subject, or even many. There is only the reedom to learn , to grow.

The other great love in Marahs li e is her amilyher husband and her nearlytwo-year-old daughter, as well as her extended amily who span t he globe. Marahs

Marah keeps everything close to her at the same time at iPark, one o three cost- ree

Mohammed Al Saee is deputy general manager at Doha Petroleum
Construction Co. Ltd. (DOPET), one o the countrys leading oil and gas services
providers. DOPETs work supporting operations or the worlds most important
oil companies is vital to Qatars economy. And Mohammeds job is critical to
DOPET. Working 1011 hours every day, he oversees administration and a host
o other areas important to DOPET. With little notice, DOPET must typically
recruit 5001,600 oreign workers or a re nery maintenance project, arrange or
their entry to Qatar, and then eed and house them when they arrive. Once
the project is completed, the oreign workers all have to go home. And this
means hundreds o orms that must be prepared, signed, and submitted.
The complexity o DOPETs assignments is why Mohammed relies on Hukoomi.
Be ore government services became available online, Mohammed had to
send his sta to government o ces to stand in long queues, sometimes just
to ask a question. That process cost the company time and money.
Now Hukoomi provides 24-hour access to government in ormation and
services. The government-wide portal makes it ast and easy or Mohammed
to download and complete necessary visas and permits. Mohammed notes
that Hukoomi does more than save companies time and money. Now drivers
dont contribute to tra c jams and air pollution. And, he says, We conserve uel
and trees that dont have to be cut down or paper. In the end, Mohammed
says, The most important aspect o success in any company is people.

Dr. Khan makes technology work or patients
From the time he was a boy, Dr. Yasir Khan has been motivated by the des ire to help
others and relieve su ering. Part o a amily o doctors and medical pro essionals, he
grew up in Saudi Arabia and ultimately became a pediatrician. He has worked all over the
world, treating people o many races and religions. A ter spending the last eight years in
the UK, he is back in the Middle East, currently calling Qatar home.
And Dr. Kahn is part o the ictQATAR amily now as a clinical advisor or the e-Health
program. He is eager to help institute change through ICT that ts his li elong passion or
making people healthier. ictQATAR will revolutionize the way clinical care is provided in
Qatar, he says. There will be huge bene ts to patients and physicians.
Advancements in technology have revolutionized the eld o medicine. It is now possible
to detect diseases earlier, provide more e ective and less invasive treatments, share
medical records digitally, and consult with physicians thousands o miles away. I believe
what we have seen is just the tip o the iceberg. New technologies and advances will
re orm and modernize medicine beyond recognition in the near uture, says Dr. Kahn.
With a masters degree in so tware engineering, Dr. Kahn is committed to combining the
best technology with the best patient care. ICT has the power to help doctors be even
more responsive to patients and bring the patients a new level o understanding and
com ort. Dr. Kahn knows rsthand that even the most noble goals such as treating
devastating diseases and helping people live longerare achieved step by step. The
scale o human su ering around the globe was eye-opening or me, but it is amazing how
a real di erence can be made by small, sustained e orts.
