National Security and the Internet in the Persian Gulf Region by Grey E. Burkhart March 1988 Kuwait Although damage to the infrastructure was extensive following the Iraqi invasion of 1990 and the subsequent counter-offensive, much has been reconstructed. Today, Kuwait has the second highest per-capita Gross Domestic Product in the Persian Gulf region (Table 13). Telecommunications infrastructure was a high priority, and today Kuwait has a fully-restored, world-class system. The addition of Internet service appears to have been a natural extension of the modern telecommunications services already offered by the Ministry of Communications, and there is little evidence of there having been significant concerns regarding the introduction of public services.
