Baghdad / Obelisk: Minister of Communications, Hayam Al-Yasiri, announced, on Saturday 14/01/2023, the launch of subsidized internet service, starting from next February 1, while specifying the reasons for the current poor service in the country.
Al-Yasiri said during a press conference held in Baghdad, followed by the obelisk, that the subsidized subscription provides 10 free gigabytes for each family, pointing out that the launch of the subsidized subscription comes as support for needy families.
She added: We will provide 10 free cakes to joint families, and the price of 100 cakes is 15,000 dinars at a very high speed, renewable, and the citizen can determine his need for internet service.
She indicated that the subsidized subscription service will be launched on February 1, and the ministry will provide a special application to measure capacity and speed, and receive notifications or renewal in the event that the subscription runs out.
And she continued, that the previous service for companies remains, and the citizen has a choice between the current subscription or the subsidized subscription, and the agent cannot force him to any subscription, calling on citizens to call the complaints numbers to hold the agents accountable and make the subsidized subscription successful.
She emphasized that the subsidized subscription addresses the poor service provided to citizens, noting that the reasons for poor service are due to the participation of more than one subscriber in a specific capacity and the merging of the subscriptions of several homes with one subscription.
And she continued, that the poor service is also due to the presence of a large number of unlicensed companies that exceed 100, and we do not have any contracts with them to hold them accountable, explaining that the subsidized subscription addressed the high prices and smuggling of the Internet.
She concluded by saying that the process of merging subscriptions into a supported subscription is not possible.
