What about telephone and internet services? I heard that UDC wanted to control that as well. Say they buy Qtel's services till the island and inside they manage it, but charge you as tenant extra. If you have problem you go and complain to Qtel.

It's supposed to be the same with water and electricity: they buy power and water wholesale and charge you a premium on top and you pay your bills to them. Can be gossip though... but would fit the picture...
