So the Middle East governments are striving hard to transform themselves into knowledge-based centers from oil-based economies.
 
The governments have prioritized the telecommunication industry as the most vigorous for their economical and technological development.

The governments are encouraging the use of Internet among the Middle East people that include more widespread use of computers in businesses and at homes, building of advanced telecom infrastructure and framing of a regulatory policy of minimal intervention.
