All lies, those f&(%ing bastards do not know what the hell they’re talking about. I do understand your frustration because I’m furious. When you get your line fixed, please give me a hint because honestly I’ve had it. Mark

But, can't you be a bit decent in your language? Sometimes we need to respect certain traditions, especially when we live in a foreign country. Don't you think so?

They have given up their hold on the gas industry; this can only come next. The current system/bureaucracy is a joke; you can forget about them ever providing or maintaining any decent service. Except for the fiber rumors .. they say MOC is currently deploying Fiber to the homes (I will believe it when I see it). This in itself is a huge step up as the current limitations in Kuwait in terms of telecommunication is the connection between the homes and the Telephone Exchange (Last mile connection). The current infrastructure will be unable to support IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) .. or VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) in that case. Basically, in a couple years from now .. Homes in Kuwait will have a little red box with a fiber line plugged into it. The box will connect your television, computer and telephone. The possibilities are endless; e.g. you could order shows through the Internet and manage phone calls from your TV. You could even order movies using a Wataniya xpress renewal card.
