  • Waleed Al Sayed, Deputy CEO, Ooredoo Group
    Closing the Digital Divide Bridging the digital divide: a three-pronged approach by Waleed Al Sayed, Deputy CEO, Ooredoo Group According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations’ specialist agency for communication and information technologies, an esti- mated 51.2 per cent of the global population, or 3.9 billion people, would be online by the end of 2018. While this progress is significant, the latest UN State of Broadband Report expects the gaps in Internet avail- ability between developed and developing countries to widen even more. The UN predicts that some 52 per cent or 3.7 billion of the world’s population currently remaining unconnected, with many of those living in remote, rural or isolated regions of the world. These statistics indicate that while mobile connectivity is spreading rapidly, it is not spreading equally. Without interven- tion, such a trend will only continue to escalate the growing digital divide, magnifying the disparities of today’s globalised world order. Waleed Al Sayed, Deputy CEO, Ooredoo Group Waleed Al Sayed was appointed as Deputy CEO, Ooredoo Group and CEO, Ooredoo Qatar in November 2015. Through his managerial and board duties at Ooredoo Group companies, Waleed has developed extensive experience in the infor- mation and technology sector, both in Qatar and the wider region. He was previously Chief Operating Officer of Ooredoo Qatar and currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Ooredoo Tunisia; Chairman of the Board of Ooredoo subsidiary STARLINK – Qatar; and as Board Member of MEEZA (a technology joint venture between Ooredoo and Qatar Founda- tion).
