Vodafone underestimated the trouble they'd have getting permission from landlords and landowners to erect masts, plus their mast sharing scheme with Qtel hit problems (see previous threads). Hence the low coverage.
That's why they only roll out to 1000 customers to start with. The goal of the first 1000 is to beta test the network, and if there are problems (as there have been) then it's only 1000 people you've upset, and they can use the excuse that you're just beta testers.
The fact that you thought the service would be 80% that of Qtel's, that you thought you'd be special, and that you were happy to pay QR70 a month just shows how good Vodafone's marketing is :)
