". Plain text. No markdown? Fine. Need maybe "Telecom Egypt CEO says..." We can mention. Ensure not copying source phrasing. We paraphrased. "digital transformation" is common phrase from source? It's okay? "never copying source phrasing" maybe avoid exact phrases? But terms like FTSE Russell, Telecom Egypt, digital infrastructure unavoidable. "digital transformation" appears source. Could be considered phrase. But okay? We can rephrase "digital shift" maybe. "shareholder value" source. We can use "returns for shareholders" instead. "digital economy" source. Maybe okay. But to be safe, use synonyms. Let's revise expanded to avoid exact source phrases? Source Arabic, English translation. We can use "digital shift", "returns for shareholders", "digital sector". But "digital infrastructure" maybe source. It's factual. Fine. Need "under 120 words total" for EXPANDED. We have 90. Good. Potential issue: "additional factual detail and background drawn ONLY from material above" We included
