GBI and the GCC (Gulf Co-operation Council)
The GBI Network is owned and operated by investors from around the Gulf and supported
by key business partners from around the world.
The GBI Network will provide wholesale international connectivity services to fixed
and mobile telecommunications operators, internet service providers and capacity
users around the Gulf and beyond.
So what does GBI’s investment mean for the region?
- GBI’s network is one half of a very powerful partnership. We provide connectivity
and when this is linked to IT, it changes the way people, enterprises and societies
operate. This combination has been one of the main driving forces of globalization
and enables companies to create a collaborative environment. GBI’s infrastructure
will play a key role in driving this change.
- Improved connectivity will increase the region’s attractiveness to foreign investors.
Governments around the world have realized the importance of high speed connectivity
in attracting foreign investment and are taking steps to address this. The GBI network
will position the region favorably when it comes to competing for inward investment.
- It is not only business that will reap the benefits from the powerful partnership
between IT and high speed connectivity. Consumers are also changing their habits,
utilizing on-line information to be better informed, source products and services.
- GBI will facilitate social and economic change, it will ensure that the Gulf has
the connectivity to be heard and is an active participant in global conversations.
