* Domestic Demand: Egypt’s domestic usage is projected to grow significantly (for example, reaching up to ~50 Tbps in five years as internet penetration, streaming, and digital services expand).
* Excess Capacity: With a 150 Tbps system and ~50 Tbps serving domestic needs, up to 100 Tbps could be available to sell internationally.
* Regional Needs: A market analysis (based on population, current penetration, and existing deficits) in neighboring and regional countries (e.g., Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, etc.) suggests an aggregate “shortfall” in the order of a few dozen Tbps immediately—with significant growth over the next five years. (Data for each country would need validation, but public reports often cite multi-Tbps gaps in emerging markets.)

====== - Current Wholesale Costs: Egypt (and similar markets) have been reported to pay roughly $10,000 per Gbps per month for international bandwidth. ======
* Competitive Pricing Strategy: To be attractive while ensuring profitability, the project would aim to sell at around $8,000 per Gbps per month. - Calculation: - 1 Tbps = 1,000 Gbps - Monthly revenue per Tbps = 1,000 × $8,000 = $8 million - Annual revenue per Tbps = $8 million × 12 = $96 million
