Batelco, Bahrain's leading telecom provider, has announced that it is enabling free unlimited usage for all fixed internet users.

Batelco CEO Mikkel Vinter said: “We are proud to be part of Team Bahrain and in these extraordinary times, Batelco is committed to stand with the government and the community. We remain focussed on our vision to empower people, enable businesses and enrich society. Therefore, we have enabled unlimited usage for all our fixed Internet users, so they can continue their daily lives with minimum inconvenience and interruptions.

“The efforts made by Team Bahrain are admirable and it is inspiring to see how all communities are uniting. The measures taken by the leadership of the Kingdom of Bahrain have been impressive in taking control of the situation and looking after all inhabitants. Being national is embedded in our identity and we are committed to playing our part,” he added.

Batelco has recognised that with students studying from home and employees working remotely and encouraged to stay home, there will be more dependency on the internet to complete transactions online, conduct virtual meetings and e-learning sessions. Therefore, unlimited usage will be a great support for all, the company said.

All Batelco’s fixed Broadband users will automatically benefit from the unlimited usage starting from March 19 until the end of May. - TradeArabia News Service
