Everyone in Kuwait complain about something, being Kuwaiti or not there is always something we complain about. It’s natural to do so, but with all of these complains one should try to understand why Kuwait suck.

Why the Internet coast cost an arm and a leg? Why Zain and Wataniya are ripping us while they almost make out with each customer who lives outside Kuwait.

It’s because of you peeps. We are basically not that many, they need customers to buy their products and spread the coast cost of their services between us. But if you have 800,000 potential customers between 5 companies or so to provide the Internet or 2 million customers between 2-3 cell phone companies, you simply don’t have enough people to share the cost.

So, the solution I see is to activate the GCC thingy and act as a one country with a huge potential customer base where any company within the GCC can offer their services within any part they want openly, while trying to preserve  the right of the small companies that grow locally.
