The General Authority for Regulating the Telecommunications Sector (TRA) announced that official portal of the UAE Government (U.AE) has hit a new record in its number of users, reaching nearly the 10 million mark during the period from January to October of this year, an 50.73 percent increase over 2019, where the number of users in the same period was 6.54 million.
During January-October 2020, U.AE saw an increase in its number of users from abroad by about 3 million users, compared to 2 million during the same period of 2019, a 22.37 percent increase in the current year over the previous one. India came first in number of users from abroad, followed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United States, and finally the United Kingdom.
Such results reflect, in part, the tremendous efforts by the portal team in content and service development. They also reflect the change in user choices as a result of the status quo where online activities witness a significant increase.
