Because competition hasn't started yet. That's the most obvious reason. We can only judge when Voda is running full speed. I agree it's a big mistake Voda created so much hype while they have not gotten backend ready.. for whatever reason, bottom line is they are not ready for the hype yet. Big big marketing mistake.
QTel on the other hand has improved because of competition but they are still far behind in a real telecommunication sense in many ways. Again, time will tell. The strength they have is the deep knowledge of how Qatar works and strong ambition to change for the better, for the country and the consumer. The biggest weakness is the mass amount of complacent mindset it harbours within its manpower, slow in adopting proper business practices, commercial culture and mindset. QTel can win this war anytime if its staffs change in their thinking, and start adopting a more business strategic mindset. They have some real heavyweights in there but are not fully utilised and exploited (fortunately for Voda I guess). Or maybe one day it will.
Opportunity are for both to grab if...
Voda - sort out their backend, plan its marketing activities more realistically and align to it before starts the public campaigning. Understand this unique Qatar market which they still have a long way to go - key success factor.
QTel - very simple. Sort out its people - key success factor. Weed out complacent underperformers and empowers the new breed of commercial executives with drive before they get bored and influenced into complacency state. Train the old people for change. With these guys plus the Qatari management knowledge, it will fly higher than anyone can imagine.
So let's judge only when the competition really starts. For now, unless you decided you want to live alone and cut yourself out from civilization, I think it's safer to use QTel : ).
Why is it too early to tell who is better?
