Saudi Arabia: 40 companies begin Internet

A week ago, Saudi Arabia agreed to allow the Internet in the kingdom. The number of companies working in Internet service numbered 40, and the expected number of subscribers to this network will amount to 120,000 Saudis at the end of the year.

A press statement released by the King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology, which is responsible for entering and presenting this service inside the Saudi territories, said that the number of subscribers in the first stage amounted to 50,000, which is an unexpected number.

The statement added that the King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology is going to filter all undesirable information, such as sex, gambling and what is contradictory to Islam and the traditions of Saudi Arabia.
