Skype unblocked in UAE by Etisalat
- United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, April 09 - 2013 at 01:26
Etisalat has announced it has unblocked the website of Skype, the world's largest internet-based phone call provider, although the move could put further pressure on the state-controlled firm's revenue, Reuters has reported. The company, which made the announcement made on its Facebook page, did not say whether Skype-to-phone calls were also now possible. It initially announced it had unblocked access to Skype's website last week via Twitter, then deleted the tweet. Skype from the UAE to the US costs $0.019 per minute while Etisalat costs $0.58 per minute peak and $0.37 per minute off-peak, making Skype's rate about 1/19th of Etisalat.
