To invest $1 billion in expanding Egypt's international internet bandwidth capacity by constructing a high-capacity submarine cable system. This infrastructure will:
* Satisfy Egypt’s growing demand for bandwidth.
* Sell excess capacity to 15+ neighboring countries facing internet shortages.
* Establish Egypt as a regional internet hub.

==== ### ====
* Capacity: 800 Tbps (upgradable to 1.2 Pbps in future expansions).
* Estimated Cost: $600 million for cable and landing stations.
* Reference: Google's "Equiano" cable cost $500M+ for 144 Tbps. (Source)
* Landing Points: Egypt, plus strategic partner nations.

===== - Cost: $250 million =====
* Includes: Fiber backbone within Egypt + connections to neighboring countries.

===== - Cost: $150 million =====
* Covers: Permits, maintenance, security, and workforce.

💰 Total Investment: $1 billion

🔹 Total immediate demand: ~341 Tbps
🔹 Projected 5-year demand: ~1067 Tbps

Since our system provides 800 Tbps, we can cover the current demand and sell excess bandwidth at premium rates as demand grows.

==== ### ====
* Egypt currently buys internet bandwidth at ~$10,000 per Gbps per month.
* We will sell bandwidth at ~$5,000 per Gbps per month to attract clients while maintaining profitability.

🔹 Minimum break-even point: < 1 year
🔹 Maximum projected profit in 5 years: $43.2B

==== By investing $1 billion, Egypt can: ====
✅ Increase domestic bandwidth to enhance internet quality.
✅ Become Africa’s leading internet supplier.
✅ Sell up to 720 Tbps to 15+ neighboring countries at profitable rates.
✅ Break even within 1 year, with an ROI exceeding 2000% over 5 years.

This project is a high-return, low-risk investment that reinforces Egypt’s role in global digital infrastructure.
