United Arab Emirates: Etisalat obstructing business

Going back to the early seventies, companies left Beirut because of the civil war and re-located largely to Cyprus, Athens, Dubai, Bahrain. Many of those which had gone to Cyprus & Athens re-re-located because telecommunications were so bad. Many came on to Dubai because telecommunications were so good. A lesson Etisalat and those who control it need to remember, before it's too late.

It's not the prices, outrageous as they are. It's not the infantile blocking of perfectly valid websites. It's the lack of speed they give us for work on the internet, Seabee said.
