ictQATAR statement on Virgin Mobile in Qatar
The Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology (ictQATAR), the nation’s telecommunications regulatory authority, confirmed today that there is not a third telecommunications service provider licensed to provide fixed or mobile networks and services in Qatar.
“Recent media reports of a third mobile operator launching services in Qatar are not accurate,” said William Fagan, Assistant Secretary General and Executive Director of the Regulatory Authority at ictQATAR.
“ictQATAR has licensed only QTel and Vodafone Qatar to provide telecommunications networks and services to the public,” Fagan said.
“ictQATAR does not object to licensed telecommunications operators using innovative practices to provide different products and services to the public.”
“However, ictQATAR does not want the public in Qatar to be misled in any way about who is actually providing these services. To be clear, there is no third licensed mobile operator. There is also no licensed mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).”
Q-Tel is using Virgin Mobile's branding to get more sales...
What's better for Q-Tel, being 1 of 2 choices... or 2 of 3 choices?
None know what it is ...by the way ..whats happening ??
had made Q-tel confused!
They are Q-Tel behind the mask... :) QTel announced this in the newspapers today.
loopholes?
Though it is been said or not... Sir Richard Branson made it to be the third entrant into Qatar Market...
But Ties with Qtel sounds fishy yeah....
saving face, aren't we?
I wonder whether you'd announce the same statement, if VFQ have pulled the same stunt ;)
