The TRA have already passed an edict that both Etisalat & du will go through the proxy. The final implementation date is still to be announced. Last report I saw was by the end of the year.

Make hay while it lasts,'cause aint gonna be there much longer

They must've read this thread lol

Internet users are being offered a way to bypass the system that blocks unsuitable sites – giving them unrestricted access to the worldwide web.

Proxy1Arabia says its service is legal – but the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) last night warned that it was not.

A request to access a website from a user in the UAE is routed through a system known as a proxy server that prevents access to material deemed offensive or unsuitable. But the new service provides each customer with a unique proxy that enables him or her to avoid the official one and call up any site they wish. Proxy1Arabia is offering the loophole to subscribers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.Three packages are available costing Dh70 for one month, Dh180 for three months and Dh330 for six months.

The national proxy system filters out websites whose content is deemed to be inconsistent with the country’s religious, cultural, political and moral values. The process is run by the regulatory authority. A TRA official said an investigation would be launched into Proxy1Arabia. He said: “It is illegal to bypass the national proxy and those subscribing to this are actually going against the country’s laws.

“We will investigate the service provider and block them,” he added.

Thats very expensive for a vpn sounds like if this business does last they are going to cream in big time, because they are ripping people off. Do you recon that this TRA rep is really the marketing manager for Eitsalat ha!!!

I have had my hand slapped for mentioning other companies, but so far i have never read any law statement that states that these services are illegal?
