For a decent amount of time, video calls have been banned in UAE for few reasons. WhatsApp, Skype and other voice over internet protocol (voip) has been banned and ushered down but recently, a high-profile man in UAE have spoken against it through a video posted in twitter.
The chairman of the Al Habtoor Group has called UAE’s telecommunication companies and raised this issue in front of them, as per reported by the Khaleej Times.
Business Leader Calls for Lifting Ban in on VIOP:
This businessman raised this issue through a video and said the following points, he mentioned that every nation is free to use such facilities and are enjoying it wholeheartedly while UAE is left behind in these things. He stressed upon the importance of communication and urged the telecommunication companies to look into this issue and requested them to solve it.
Key to becoming number 1:
He pulled the strings on the irony that UAE has always been on top of everything but when it comes to communication, UAE is left behind. In order to be number one in everyone, UAE needs to be successful in communication too. That’s how they can progress in the future.
Apple and android companies have been seen to make requests with voip to let the facetime and Skype be run freely in UAE but no such fruitful results are seen.
Just like leader of Al Habtoor spoke up, we can also hope that others would speak up too and help remove the ban. But even if there is no ban, we must learn to use social media responsibly.
