everybody thought the price war would evolve and the rates would be slashes... but unfortunately, this is distant dream.. no change in the call rates (may be extra service at cost) as the the rates are fixed by the qatar telecom regulation.. and moreover the vodafone has to pay qtel connectivity fee, which is one of the reason for dealy as this hasn't been in agreement yet..... so Qtel emerges as winner.... so wait for the game....
