Bahrain’s telecom company, Batelco, announced on Sunday tariff reductions on four of its major data communications services, reported the Manama-based Gulf Daily News.
The reductions vary with each service, but on average will total around 18.5 percent.
"The tariff review is part of our ongoing initiative to deliver value for money services, and in line with directives from the country's leadership," explained Batelco acting chief executive Anthony Hart.
Hart said the new reductions, which come amidst celebrations marking Batelco's 20th anniversary, were a token of appreciation to loyal customers throughout Bahrain.
He said Batelco, by virtue of its strategic alliance with its global partner, Cable and Wireless, was uniquely placed to offer a comprehensive, cost effective range of world-class managed data services so vital to large corporations, said the paper.
He said that Batelco's data communications services provide global end-to-end connectivity, one-stop shopping, and high speed, high volume data transmission critical to business transactions today.
"In this regard, a number of major upgrade projects, aimed at enhancing the this network to provide faster, easier access and transmission speeds, are nearing completion," he told the paper – Albawaba.com
