Hi Peta and Doug,

You see, Qatar is such a poor country (3rd richest?hmmmm) that it needs to make a lot of money.
A good way to make money is by taking advantage of the poor expat that works here for a miserable wages and who needs to speak regularly to his wife and children back home so he can keep his sanity.

A couple of months ago, QTel had this wonderful idea that it would make more money if it disabled the internet sites that the poor expat with a misarable wages uses to speak free of charge to his family.

Genius, isn't it?
