Wi-Tribe is a Qatar Telecom (Qtel) Group internet services provider company operating in Qatar, Pakistan,[2] Jordan[3] and Philippines with its head office in Doha, Qatar.[4][5]

History

Established in April 2007 as a Qtel Group Company, Wi-Tribe delivers internet services to consumers in Pakistan, Jordan and Philippines, with a regional Head Office based in Doha, Qatar.[6]

The company has been expanding and launching its ventures worldwide, as part of the Qtel’s 2020 vision.[6]

Jordan

In 2008, operations were launched in Jordan, expanding to several cities across the kingdom. In October 16th, 2012 the company cancelled its operations in Jordan due to a sudden increase of electricity fees and taxes imposed by the government. [6]

Pakistan

In 2009, wi-tribe group launched its largest operations in Pakistan. In Pakistan, Wi-Tribe is operating in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad.[7][8][9] The wi-tribe Pakistan is ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) approved employer, and it is one of the only two telecom companies to receive this honor in Pakistan.[10] Qtel showed no interest in acquiring 3G license in 2012, reasoning that most subscribers have no interest in advance mobile telecommunication services.[11]

Philippines

With the launch of wi‐tribe Philippines in 2010, Qtel and San Miguel, Wi-Tribe has laid down in its foundation. This advanced market has been another exciting venture for the tribe and the first expansion of the group into Southeast Asia.[6][12] In February 2010, Wi-Tribe launched "4G" wireless broadband service (though in reality, it is a 3G service).[13]
