Qatar National Broadband Network (Qnbn) surprised and delighted the nation by highlighting its pledge to empower the nation on the Internet on Qatar’s National Day. Qnbn displayed messages expressing its commitment to Qatar’s future on a wide range of Internet sites such as Google, Qatar Living, MSN Facebook, and Yahoo.
The CEO of Qnbn, Mohammad Al Mannai, commented: “For us the Internet presented the perfect medium to send out messages from Qnbn on National Day that reiterate our determination to transform people’s lives in Qatar with the latest 21st century technology platforms. As the day that commemorates the founding of this great nation, we wanted to reaffirm our vision of the world of possibilities that will result from Qnbn’s cutting edge fiber optic broadband network. Our key message was that high-speed communications of over 100 mbps will serve to empower the nation. We also restated our aim to attain 95 percent coverage across the country. In line with the National Vision 2030, we saw our role as a catalyst for building a knowledge-based economy in Qatar.”
