    It could be AT&T, but honestly 1.08 billion is a huge number for the size of the project, unless they are going to work on fixed lines and Internet beside GSM and some surprises.

    As far as the 40%, well I think it is depressing to know this as a fact. But taking into consideration the conflict over the monopoly of Etisalat between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, I think this is justified. I can see it already that Dubai government will have few surprises for us in the project too.

    In general, what does any telecommunication provider need to penetrate UAE market? AT&T or Vodafone …etc
    What would be their strategy facing Etisalat?
