Saudi Telecom aims for data refuel of oil-led economy:
"Saudi Arabia may be more dependent on data pipelines than oil ones in the future, if the head of its state-owned telecoms company achieves his goals.
Khaled Hussain Biyari, chief executive of Saudi Telecom Company or STC, believes it has a key role to play in reducing economic reliance on oil by transforming itself into a regional technology incubator and a capacity hub for US companies such as Facebook and Google.
As the dominant force in the Saudi telecoms market, Dr Biyari said his company would become a “major player” in the transformation of the economy. “The dependence on oil is a curse,” he said of the need to reform."
