ATTENTION (9/Mar/1999)

On Thursday 07 January 1999 the rumor first started of an

Read more about it here.


The case for this request is presented throughout these pages.
Perhaps it is best summarized by this
Open Letter To Etisalat.


Comparative rates of other Internet Providers around the region and the rest of the world are compared here to Emirates Inernet's rates. We will attempt to be a objective as possible, and try and come to a conclusion if the rates we pay are reasonable.


Did you take time to tell Etisalat what you thought about their service before March 15th, 1999. If not, click here.
