    Wataniya Telecom sets new standards in customer oriented services and entertainment at Info Connect 2009.
The exhibition gathers participations among leading companies operating in Telecom and IT sectors.

At this year's exhibition Wataniya Telecom takes visitors on a journey through Wataniya services and offers. Carrying the slogan of 'The Wataniya Festival' visitors are invited to spend time at the Wataniya Telecom stand and to try out the company's offers such as MMS, video call and Java gaming opportunities through competitions and interactive games. Also W-net, the Internet service introduced to the market last year as well as the high speed data download service HSDPA are being displayed for try out.

In addition to the wide range of services exposed, Wataniya Telecom brought in stilt walkers and 'living statues' as a special attraction to young and old in order to round off the 'festival character' of the company's exhibition.

"We truly believe that telecommunication services should be easy to handle and support customers not only on a corporate but also on a private level. We put a lot of effort into making the personal use of our services easy and customer friendly," Scott Gegenheimer, CEO and GM of the company stated, "That's why we decided to focus this year on fun, excitement and entertainment as the center pieces of our exhibition to give our customers something to enjoy and remember."

Daily raffle draws hosted by Sally Qadi and Mesha'l Alshaya, both popular MCs in Kuwait, peaking in a final draw on the last day of the exhibition are supporting the interactive concept of Wataniya Telecom during the InfoConnect 2009.

Also the business related services are represented. In the Wataniya Telecom Business Lounge corporate customers receive competent advice and information about new business solutions.

In addition to the current promotions, Wataniya Telecom came up with very special surprise packages on phones and notebooks bundles, special offers on high-speed Internet Wnet service and others only valid during the time of the exhibition.

"We are really proud of this year's exhibition and we are definitely setting new standards in telecommunication services during this week," Gegenheimer added, "Being close to our customers and focusing on their actual demands is a priority at Wataniya! Whether it is for business clients or private customers, we as Wataniya Telecom long to give the true VIP 'red carpet' experience to all our customers."
