The Oman Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) will provide those selected with free high speed broadband internet connection, and related data rich services such as internet protocol television (IPTV) or over the top TV. This decision is based on a home pilot project that has been approved by the Oman Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.

The project, reported in The Times of Oman, will see up to 400 homes in Ma’bailah North and Ma’bailah South connected with optical fibre in order to test the technical feasibility of a larger broadband delivery scheme across the Gulf Sultanate.
