STC to make broadband internet available for 3m houses

STC will make its broadband internet services available through fiber optics across all landline networks in Saudi Arabia, with the aim of enhancing the efficient use of the fiber optics infrastructure in the Kingdom. The move comes after STC signed a landline broadband agreement with all providers of landline broadband internet infrastructure in February, under the patronage of Minister of Communications and Information Technology Abdullah Al-Swaha, and as part of an initiative by the Communication and Information Technology Commission (CITC).

STC will provide its services through Baity Fiber plans for more than 3 million households serviced by the fiber optics cable infrastructure of different telecom companies. STC’s Baity Fiber plans will be high-speed, ranging between 100 Mbps (megabits per second) and 500 Mbps, and will provide an interactive television service (Jawwy TV Home) that offers continuous entertainment.
