If there are any iPhone 3G users in the UAE yet, they should be happy about this:

Quote:

Users of the Etisalat 10 GB mobile broadband package who currently enjoy the highest mobile bandwidth available in the UAE today got an additional bonanza with Etisalat announcing the extension of a special offer valid until 30th September 2008, which will offer customers subscribing to this package a monthly 100GB data usage during this period at no additional cost. Etisalat had seen a strong demand from its customers for this offer when it was originally launched in February earlier this year. As a result, Etisalat has decided to extend this attractive offer further with the package costing AED 460 for customers. The usage limit will revert to 10 GB beyond the promotion period.

At 100GB it's practically unlimited, but at 10GB it's certainly not.

So now its only a partial rip off.
And its only till the end of September...

It costs 30 bucks for unlimited.
The only thing unlimited in that offer is Etisalat's greed,

I know where all that 3G money goes to:
"Etisalat has reported Dhs2.99bn ($815m)in net profit for the second quarter. This takes net profit for the first half of 2008 to Dhs5.11bn, an increase of 37.1% on 2007 figures."

I understand Etisalat is a company.
And companies have a bottom line, profits, and shareholders.
But how about offering value for money?
How about quality service?
Don't you think people would subscribe to that service if the offer was more feasible?
