Usually speaking, Middle East does not emboby the most advanced region of the earth from a technological point of view. And it would be quite difficult to imagine the standard of telecommunication services available in the Arab Emirates before arriving there. One is to see it personally, in order to be aware of the advanced technological services existing in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other Emirates.

In the case you are staying in a hotel or hotel apartment, the only question you are to ask is whether the high-speed internet connection is free or on a surcharge basis, but not whether it is provided or not. Mostly, the internet connection is at guests’ disposal 24 hours a day and both on a wired and WI-FI basis, but it would be quite wise to get precise information before using the service. In fact one could run the risk to pay a little fortune for using it or just to lose significant non-saved data, due to the fact that the internet connection is sometimes provided on a hour-basis and in lack of precise instructions, the hotel system does disconnect you after the first hour!

After having cleared your mind of this doubt, you can relax and benefit the comfort of high-speed and reliable internet access. Navigation does not give any problem, as also some online communication providers are available regularly. You could say: why not? There is a certain reason: from the official point of view, Skype for example, has been banned as Etisalat, one of the most important telecommunication companies in the United Arab Emirates Dubai Media City submitted a statement to the judge, where it declared that the communication provider was adopting a policy of unfair competition.

Moreover, Etisalat based its statement on objective facts: according to the latest stats, the amount of immigrants working in the Arab Emirates has risen up to 85% of the total resident population. Consequently, million of persons made phone calls free of charge towards other States to their families and friends by means of the online communication provider, which had cut off a highly remarkable quote of money, while (they also emphasized) jeopardizing many jobs.

This was the winning idea. Finally the court found in their favour and that communication provider was prohibited. Nevertheless, you will not believe it: that service works perfectly! I don’t know how, but it steadily works.

Alongside with all of the hotels, you will enjoy excellent internet access also in most shopping malls, clubs, and restaurants, as well as in each Exhibition Centre, together with a number of IT-services which guarantee everyone to be in touch with his/her family, friends and collaborators.

Furthermore, a surprising privilege is the availability of the WI-FI internet connection on all of the brand new Metro trains in Dubai!

Definitely, a deserved mention to the place par excellence: Dubai Internet City, internet Emirates which includes all of the aspects of the internet while boasting them in their most refined look. The meta-internet heaven.
