Well done Batelco. That is 3/52.3 = 5.7% of your half-year profit or 3/136.4 = 2.2% of your gross revenue. Appreciable figures regardless of which metric and most definitely amplified by the projects it has financed and it is those people who will immediately see the contribution’s benefits.

I hope more companies follow this lead.

I hope too that these revenues prove that the lower the price of a good service, the more people will flock to you to buy that service, so it’s time once again for your to reduce the ADSL tariffs, increase speeds and scrap that bandwidth limitation. You can do it!
