A senior official said the number of people in Oman who are seeking Internet connections is rising sharply due to the country's e-government initiative, reported Khaleej Times. Dr. Mohammed bin Ali Al Wahaibi, Chief Executive Officer of majority state-owned Omantel, said the number of Internet subscribers jumped 12% during the 12-month period ending February 29 - from 93,668 to 104,928.
