United Arab Emirates: 4 hours, 41 minutes ago

Etisalat broadband charges of $543 a month for 2MB are a rip-off, and more than 10 times what British Telecom charges, reported a letter to Gulf News. Etisalat said the UAE did not benefit from the UK's economies of scale. Others pointed out that the UAE will not have enough subscribers for such economies of scale until it cuts its high charges, and that many small European countries have done this recently.

$543 a month for 2mbps a rip-off?? What is Telkom's almost R30,000 a month then?

I think Telkom has paved the way for they guys at Oxford Dictionaries to think up a word that's better than rip-off. If we had the price they had in UAE then millions could afford dsl.
