This article has been completely replaced with a new one, as I'm noticing on Saturday, April 21, 2007. Looks like someone at Etisalat has completely replaced the entry with a press release from themselves? Antivert 01:20, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, it appears much of the article was removed due to violation of certain policies, and much of this Etisalat-aggrandizing information was added later. Time to clean up the article I guess, and provide new links with sources for the censorship-related stuff. I'm sure Etisalat themselves are behind this. It fits with their apparent policy of non-transparency and information manipulation. Antivert 01:20, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
An anonymous user at 213.42.21.79 appears to have made many changes adding propaganda to this article and removing data Etisalat may dislike, even information that was not violating any Misplaced Pages policy. I propose that anonymous revisions from the UAE be disabled again, as you're only going to get this sort of thing from the companies here.
Sigh! Corporate vandalism is so fun. Antivert 01:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Removed this: Upon the new release of the latest ISP for the United Arab Emirates will allow the complete unblocking of every internet site on the planet.
There's been no announcement as to whether DU, the 'new' ISP, will operate a proxy-free system. Conversely, it's been reported that those areas that currently don't operate through the Etisalat proxy (freezones, EMAAR residential areas, etc) will, in fact, have it imposed before the year-end.
Verification needed
There might be a third ISP but will be partially owned by etisalat.The facts are unknown if they will restrict the internet or not OR the ISP will come in service. If it does, The ISP will be up and running By December 2006.
- Interesting and important article. I wonder what is meant by the "weasle word" reference in the end of the article. It seems like that would be an easy one to edit and get that cleaned up. VX 20:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Controversial Company
Removed many sections of the entry due to failure to comply with Misplaced Pages rules. If you're unsure of the rules, please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines . We all know that Etisalat is doing some pretty devious things, but let's please adhere to Misplaced Pages's policies. Antivert
There are also several problems with NPOV in this article. Please be encylopaedic.
Cable TV?
"citation needed" added for the statement that Etisalat holds a monopoly in the cable TV field. This needs to be clarified, as there are multiple cable TV operators in the UAE, including Dubai.
Old Information
The article contains very old information and it is not up to date. Please help updating the article
Reliable? Yeah Right!
Look, i've been to UAE, and reliable does not come to mind to most customers of Etisalat. This is the first time i have heard anybody saying this about Etisalat. Nabeel_co 04:14, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
