In UAE most of the people prefers basic connectivity rather than lots of value-added services. Andrew Grenville, executive vice president of carrier services at du, said in this case I will say B2B I mean back to basics. The services you move into massively depends on the market you’re moving into. Some are more open than others, in some the regulators are strong, in others they are less so, he continued. du expects to begin developing VAS in the next two to three years. Grenville further said that du expects to begin developing VAS in the next two to three years. Currently, du is not planning to expand outside UAE. After Etisalat, du has became the second operator to begin offering services in the United Arab Emirates and recently in August it obtained government approval to offer Research in Motion (RIM)’s BlackBerry inturn increases the competitive presurre on the incumbent which also offers the popular business handsets. According to Grenville, incumbents can be quite resistant to liberalisation because they see these new players coming in and destroying value, but it’s actually just new players coming in and trying to grow their business. Now the market will determine what works, he added.
