UAE set to ban Iphone
Exclusive network deal a no no

THE UAE LOOKS SET to join France in banning Apple from selling the Iphone if the entertainment gear maker insists on its policy of exclusive network deals with telcos.

The Emirates' Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) says it will not permit an exclusive Iphone service with either of the two licensed telecom operators in the UAE. The ban could be 'indefinite', reports Gulf News.

"We are careful to observe the major principle of fair competition which includes Iphone services," said a TRA spokesman.

The TRA ruling means the phone could not be officially released in the UAE. Users determined to buy the things risk Apple bricking illicitly-unlocked phones through software upgrades.
