Son of Etisalat

Wow what a hectic week, the imminent arrival of Ramadan has meant that all parties and events are being rushed through, couple that with Gitex and it has been a mad social week. Really need to be out there house hunting but have struggled to get moving due to over indulgence.
Good news for Etisalat this week with the news that they are not going to face competition on price or to be honest anything else by the look of it
This really pretty much highlights what is wrong with so much of the UAE, I really can't see why they have bothered setting up this other sham company, all it will do is increase their costs since they will have to run two HQs and workforces, since there is no competition and they are both owned by the same people why bother, oh I know it's so they can say its not a monopoly.
They must really think we are stupid. Meanwhile Etisalat gets to export their own form of product over the region in countries not normally known for their open markets, presumably bank rolled by the poor UAE customers with nowhere else to go, the hypocrisy is mind numbing
