Silly Headline of the Year

No no no no no... NO! You can't be serious!



Oh and wait, to make it worse, here's a line from the article:

An award has been presented to Batelco for the best Internet service provider of the year at the second annual CommsMEA Awards held at the Fairmont Hotel, Dubai. "We are delighted to have achieved this prestigious recognition as the Best Internet Service Provider of the year in the Middle East and Africa region," said consumer division general manager Nick Di Marzo, who attended the event. "Our strategy to remain technically innovative, while keeping the needs of our customers in the forefront has proven to be successful."

    Hmm...

    Lets looks at tis a moment:

    1) Batelco is the ONLY ISP in Bahrain.
    2) There is no # 2 ISP in Bahrain
    3) No other ISP entered the category for "Best ISP in the Middle East".
    3) Ergo, Batelco is the # 1 ISP in Bahrain.

    I've come to this conclusion:

    Bahrain's internet penetration is roughly 50% of Bahrain's homes. Let's say 90% of these homes are provided by Batelco and the other 10% from Orbit and other satellite services.

    now 90% from 50% is a lot so Batelco has the most customers and anywhere in the world

    most customers=best service=more customer satisfaction=best internet provider

    but not in Bahrain!

    You and all the commentaries seem to be really pissed off! Just laugh about it man! It’s not worth being angry about! It’s all about who you know around there, not if you are really the best in anything! :P

    Please brother do not make such remarks about the brotherly nation of Somalia, It is a nation burdened with war but they are good muslim and arab brothers.Let us move forward from these hateful remarks.

    But I do agree in relation to your comments about Batelco.

I don't usually moderate comments, but recently i've been getting a ton of "buy viagra" "check out this search site" "buy casino chips online" related comment spam, so the moderation is back on. Don't take it personally.
