Dear Mr. Joseph,
It is very sad to see all fellow Indians mistreated by a local telephone company, which is of course "Q-TEL".
I am aware that this matter is not political but rather a socially important one to all Indian families residing in Qatar. For many reasons, we have personally accepted our jobs in Qatar and recognise its financial benefits. However, in exchange we are helping all of Qatar and the people of Qatar.
To make this short, most of us have purchased the VOIP services like Skype, Dialpad, Net2phone, Vonage and other Internet telephony packages to contact our families in India. For many Indians here in Doha this service is our main link to our families in the India. Every time we lift the phone headset we feel like we are still at home in India, and we can contact any one we want.
Q-Tel has decided to increase its level of greed and blocked this service and other specific internet ports in Qatar.
We feel that this matter is or beyond "discrimination" against all Indians in the state of Qatar. We feel what has just happened is a case of greed and that the government officials may be not fully aware of it since the company is a semi-governmental.
We would like to ask you to help us by passing on this specific problem to State of Qatar officials. We hope that this would be one of your next important topics to discuss in your agenda.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
