KUWAIT CITY, July 23: In spite of an announcement that the Internet Service Providers in the country must reduce the fees, the Ministry of Communications has yet to officially inform the companies of the new stipulations, reports Al-Jaridah daily. The ministry’s undersecretary had allegedly given a one-week ultimatum for companies to reduce their prices, which has passed with no changes in the price schemes.

Telephone calls made by customers to the companies were met with claims that the companies have not received any official notification about the new prices. However, informed sources say the four ISPs have taken a unanimous decision not to cut costs until the ministry reduces the prices of international circuits.
