Does anyone have the name and contact details (including website) of the above. I just can't remember what they're called.

Thanks

It's Emirates Integrated Tele-communication Company (EITC) but I'm not aware of a website for them yet.

P.S. Is 'competitor' the right word

It's called EITC but I don't think they're active yet in that way; their licence was only officially approved last week.

EITC is the name, they are and have been operating for quite a while.

otherwise known as Newtel, aka TECOM or DIC, theve been billing anyone in Emar properties for a while under the name of DIC telecom. It is the same company with the same people in the same offices.

I don't think they will provide the services to the public! except for the residents in the freehold properties.

Yeah - I just asked about it and was told that while it is separate - it is going to be bought by EITC So, no difference then.
