  5. Major Obstacles and Concerns… • Financial support • Technical Support • Political Support • Applications, Services, Contents … • Promotion • Bureaucracy • Monopoly, Regulations… • Time… This slide is unorganized intentionally I used to carry this heavy slide with me for the last 4 years.

  6. Conclusion • With ASREN, we will overcome the obstacles and handle the concerns facing the previous initiatives • EUMEDONNECT3 is vital for ASREN as the first exercise to take over the responsibility of the MED regional connectivity. Otherwise we may go to the first slide. • Moving from EUMEDCONNECT3 to EU-ARAB-Connect will support ASREN to attract all Arab Countries to join
