Fresh debate on lifting WhatsApp, Skype call ban in UAE | ZAWYA MENA Edition:
Debate about lifting the ban on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has erupted again in the UAE following comments of a popular Emirati commentator and columnist. "It's so frustrating that Skype is banned in the UAE. How are we meant to conduct interviews and meetings? Such a contradiction in 2021 & 2071 Visions goals," said Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, who is a well-known lecturer and researcher on social, political and culture affairs in the Arab Gulf states.
A Twitteratti Yousif said removal of ban on free calling apps is long overdue here.
"Lifting the ban on Skype and FaceTime is really overdue. Also, Internet service at home is mostly monopolised by one provider (Du or Etisalat). Mobily (UAE's Etisalat) changed the game in Saudi market, hope something like that happens in the UAE, or regulator gets involved," Yousif said in a reply to Al Qassemi's tweet.
