Boycott Batelco is a movement on the islands of Bahrain against the monopolistic telephone company Batelco that has used its status as a monopoly to limit internet bandwidth access to its customers by force.
The following is a summary taken from the movement's official website www.boycottbatelco.com
[edit] Summary
What has Batelco done?
Batelco has eliminated the UNLIMITED usage ADSL packages from their offering, and are forcing everyone to migrate to the new packages and risk paying additional fees. Batelco are also lying about this and claiming it is better for users, while it is much worse.
Why did Batelco change the prices?
To fight the usage of shared networks which will be extremely expensive without unlimited bandwidth. Batelco claim these packages are enough/fair.
We demonstrate below that these packages are NOT reasonable and that we should have a right to a reasonably priced UNLIMITED usage package like the rest of the world.
What can I do about this?
It's hard to find an alternative to Batelco, but we can at least raise awareness to the problem and alert as many people as possible to what Batelco is doing. Continue reading to understand the issue and find ways in which you can help.
