LINKdotNET, the leading Internet solutions provider in the Middle East, promises visitors to Cairo ICT (24th – 27th February), a fascinating and diverse view into the world of the Internet.

From its expansive and impressive exhibition platform ‘LINK World’, LINKdotNET's various business units will be present in full force. This is the company's 12th successive appearance at the show where this year it is also an Official Sponsor and the Bandwidth /WiFi Provider.

Karim Beshara, CEO of LINKdotNET says conversation is now turning towards user contribution and personalization of the web, with online advertising serving the dual role of entertainment and marketing.

"With the convergence of the PC and telephone through unified communications, the world as we know it really is changing," he says. "The theme for Cairo ICT 'the world as we know it…. is now changing', is very appropriate and in line with our developments and new customer offerings.

At the show, LINKDSL will be making a number of announcements on new services and promotions for its users. LINK Development, the software development subsidiary, will not only be present as part of the LINK World, but also with the Ministry of State for Administrative Development (MSAD ), where it will be showcasing a number of projects and highlighting its role within the national e-government strategy.

LINKonLINE, owns and manages the biggest network of portals in the region. They will be showcasing their various portals and demonstrating how user centric innovation has become the most important factor in their ongoing success.

These portals offer a wide range of informative, useful and entertaining services including helping users find a job through the recruitment portal careermideast.com, enabling meal order and delivery online through otlob.com, offering a massive range of legal Arabic and English music available on mazika.com. In addition football fans including those of Spanish Football F.C Barcelona can access to up-to-the-minute news, match dates and results, team interviews and much more fan-related information on barcaarabia.com and yallakora.com.

MSN Arabia offers diverse content to cater for different interests of users in the Arab region taking into consideration the various cultures of people living in the region and providing easy browsing in a friendly environment.

Working closely with LINKonLINE is LINKdotNET’s online advertising subsidiary Connect Ads, which promotes online advertising at a time when it has rapidly gained popularity and is emerging as one of the fastest growing areas in the advertising industry.

"We expect LINK World to be a top attraction at this year's Cairo ICT," said Ossama Kamal, Managing Director of Trade Fairs International, which organizes the fair. "This is one of the biggest, most diverse and entertaining exhibits since its first participation twelve years ago. The company's involvement today forms a key pillar in the show's overall success."
