Zain, part of the Zain group, the leading mobile operator in the Middle East and Africa, began to offer 8 MB internet services to customers for the first time in Jordan.
With the service, all Zain internet service customers were able to enjoy high speed internet service.
Zain Internet Services Manager Abdallah Fazaa said that the local internet market is amongst the most advanced in the region with the Jordanian telecommunications regulatory committee preparing, during the past few years, a competitive environment that allows the service to be provided to customers in high efficiency and moderate prices. He also noted that having one company monopolizing the infrastructure of internet services, in this case Jordan telecom, is the biggest challenge faced by companies that offer internet services.
Fazaa also encouraged the government to support the demands that has to do with the relationship between internet service providers with Jordan Telecom, most notably providing the service of local loop unbundling and allowing all service providers to access information and the data base relating to its ADSL customers which is only available to the service provider related to Jordan Telecom.
Zain currently provides various internet speed services including 4 and 6 megabytes.
