It seems that with the many restrictions that telecommunication companies (meaning Internet service providers) in the Gulf countries that impaired our very freedom of speech by stopping many bloggers to get into their accounts Gulf-wide is on the verge of a very rapid spread.
First, it was the United Arab Emirates and Etisalat. God knows why, since I thought that the UAE has the most outspoken media in comprisom to the other Gulf states so what harm is it on the 'net?
Next, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was hit like a flu. Restricting even access to other Arab bloggers' sites on the 'net.
Is, Oman next on the agenda? If so, what does that account to be in terms of a open-media political statement? And if it were to happen, what would other Omani bloggers do? Will they resume their usual norm of everyday life as usual? Or will they pester the authorities for their almost God-given rights? - 'I was born free, not a slave'.
What would your reaction be if OmanTel were to restrict access to your blog or other bloggers' sites?
