Telecommunication monopoly in Kuwait
By Casttro. Posted in Internet, Mobile, Tec | 6 Comments »
We suffer from the monopoly exercised by the Telecommunication Companies in Kuwait pertaining to new mobile technology such as Blueberry and IPhone.We have three telecommunication companies but unfortunately the BlackBerry services are strictly monopolized by Zain company,while in some countries in the region like SaudiArabia,Qatar and UAE the IPhone and Blackberry services are officially open for all the companies without any restrictions.
The telecommunication technology is developing rapidly in the world while here in Kuwait it is so inferior even to the much poorer countries.
I really don’t know until when this miserable situation will continue.This unfair monopoly is really pushing the hackers forward to invent all possible and illegal ways to connect between IPhone and Blackberry among the users in Kuwait.
Believe it or not ,even Skype is blocked and no one can benefit from its fantastic services and technology except the hackers!! SO,in order for a user in Kuwait to be up to date with the latest technology in telecommunications,he/she must convert to a HACKER!!
I THINK IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO LAY DOWN NEW LAWS TO STOP THIS UNFAIR MONOPOLY AND OPEN A NEW ERA OF COMPETITION AMONG ALL THE THREE TELECOMMUNICATION COMPANIES IN KUWAIT WHICH WILL BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE USERS OF THESE ADVANCED SERVICES.

Zain doesn’t have a monopoly on the BlackBerry service. They just got exclusive rights to it for 6 months and that expired a long time ago. Wataniya and Viva both have been just slow to introduce BB into the market, probably due to the fact they don’t have the proper equipment yet to handle it.
