I guess that Vodafone has much more power to satisfy expats in terms of services, so potentially a great part of the cake. They will use the strength of their network all over the world to provide benefits in terms of roaming. Triple play offers have been developed years ago by Vodafone abroad as well, where they face tough competition, so they have a good experience in this area.

I think QTEL had all the time in the past and should have implemented a full speed broadband network (fiber) from the early days, to have a real advantage on competitors in terms of service, quality and offers. The strategy should have emphasized on quality of service as well, and not trying to rush at last minute because of the presence of a competitor, this will affect their image. I wish all the best to both of them.
