CAIRO: Minister of Communication and Information Technology Tarek Kamel reversed Thursday a decision to limit internet downloads for DSL and ADSL subscribers.
The minister said that restriction — labeled the fair access policy (FAP) — will only be applied on news subscribers for a two-month trial period, and will not have retroactive effects on current subscribers.
The decision comes after a campaign, led by internet users and cyber cafés owners, rallied online support and organized street protests against the FAP.
