WhatsApp Will be Banned In Saudia Arabia
After banning VIBER in SAUDIA ARABIA there is attention toward another messenger smartphone application. WhatsApp, which could be blocked in just a few weeks.WhatsApp is assumed to be banned before Ramadan according to country's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC). Reason behind banning is that WhatsApp communications are difficult to control.This app can be used on smartphone and no system is required.So, local telecom companies' revenue is decreasing day by day, since it allows users to send messages over the Internet instead of the telephone networks.Telephone networks revenue is loosing as user are preffering internet usage.Abdullah Al-Darrab, governor of the CITC, told Arab News.
"We will take strict action against these applications and services if they do not comply with the regulations."
Viber,skype and WhatsApp set up local servers to allow for easier handling, but the companies haven't complied. Viber was banned at the beginning of June, and Skype ,WhatsApp will be next. Al-Dabban said,
"We gave them a week to comply and have been communicating with them since March . Therefore, this has left us with no choice but to block these services, beginning with Viber,"
So, it may happen WhatsApp and skype will banned in saudia Arabia if these apps are compiled as these are reducing the local telecom companies' revenue.
