telecommunications

The year 2008 was marked by momentum on many fronts for ictQATAR, the Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology. More parents are involved in their children’s day-to-day educational progress with the help of technology and business leaders are boosting revenue and performance. More than 300 online services can be accessed anytime, anywhere through Qatar’s online government portal Hukoomi. And because of round-the-clock vigilance by a team of international cyber experts, children and adult users are safer on the Internet.

Vodafone to launch fixed line phone service next year
_____________________________________________________
Vodafone Qatar will launch its fixed line services next year. The telecommunications company yesterday said it was in talks with major developers here to be their exclusive fixed line provider once its licence application was approved.

Michael Portz, Chief Marketing Officer of Vodafone Qatar, said, however, that it still hadn’t been decided whether the fixed line services will start early or late next year.

Portz said Vodafone Qatar was in talks with some of the country’s leading real estate developers, including Qatari Diar and the United Development Company (UDC), to be the exclusive fixed line provider in their projects.

The Supreme Council of Information and Communications Technology (ictQATAR) today announced the issuing of the Telecommunications Executive By-Law No. (1) of 2009, published in the Qatari Official Gazette and effective from 26 July 2009.

The Telecommunications Executive By-Law includes regulatory procedures, rules and instructions that must be followed by telecommunications service providers in Qatar, including licensees such as Qatar Telecom (QTel) QSC and Vodafone Qatar QSC.

Hey everybody

Fairly new here and I'm trying to feel out if working in Qatar seems like a viable option.

So, the recession hit Iceland pretty hard. Jobs are sparse and income taxes hit the 40% mark.

So, currently I make the equivalent of 5000Qr per month, working in a hotel reception which is not my field of work per say.

What I am looking for is a IT/Tech support related job and I've got several questions regarding living and working in Qatar

1. How much would a low level IT employee make per month?. I've mostly worked in telecommunications, networking and such. No diplomas or certificates, though

2. What is the feel of being a westerner in a muslim country? Do you get treated any differently?

Qtel and Tata Communications have announced a strategic alliance that is intended to strengthen both companies network reach in the region as well as internationally. According to the terms of the agreement, both the companies will align their infrastructures and work together to provide secure, scalable and flexible connectivity solutions. These solutions include Ethernet, MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) and a wide variety of managed services to their global customers.

Qtel's Vision

"To be among the top 20 telecommunications companies in the world by the year 2020"

My Quote: -- It means, we still have to suffer 11 years of poor internet/phone service, customer service until 2020! LMAO! :D

Today, as countries all over the world mark World Telecommunications and Information Society Day, we marvel at how the telecommunications industry has rapidly evolved from telegraphing to tweeting. The theme for this year, Protecting Children in Cyberspace, reminds of how changes in telecommunications has not only has brought tremendous benefits, but also requires us to be vigilant in ensuring new technologies are used for good.

The Supreme Council for Information and Communication Technology, ictQATAR, today launched a second round of public consultation on its proposed licensing framework for the telecommunications sector in Qatar. ictQATAR holds the authority to establish a fair, objective and transparent licensing regime under Telecommunications Law no. 34 of 2006. This consultation relates to services which will not normally be provided by a licensed public network operator.
