I totally hate Etisalat, the telecom monopoly over here in UAE, they have blocked VOIP and sites like orkut and flickr. I guess some of the blocks have a good reason behind them but many are totally useless. Whats with blocking a perfectly cool picture sharing service. With hi5 blocked aswell im getting worried about the flickr substitute zooomr i am using now. Its unfair how they are making so much money by blocking calls over the internet so that everybody has to use there service to make overseas calls. With Etisalat also controlling PTCL, Pakistanis dont look very happy with it either.
