What are the key areas of the Oman National Broadband Strategy in which Oman Broadband has achieved, maximally? A. Oman’s National Broadband Strategy has three main pillars, namely; the regulatory framework, demand stimulation and infrastructure enhancement. The infrastructure pillar is handled by Oman Broadband. Within few years of operation, Oman Broadband’s optical fiber network introduced a significant improvement in the country’s broadband infrastructure.
