Incase you haven’t noticed half of Amman are unknowingly carrying 3G phones, so a customer base does exist. The modems that are provided by JT support up to 8Mbps connections. And the list goes on and on and on. Addendum: There’s nothing stopping any of these providers from innovating and coming up with new services.

I'm not sure where you live, but broadband is still expesnive. Between ISPs, Modem Rental, and JTC fees a 512Kb ADSL costs $70 dollars or so. That's well beyond average mo's reach. Compare that to Israel's $9 for the same speed! On the other hand you speak of innovation, name one! There's absolutely no innovation in the telecommunication feild. What we have in this country is price wars nothing more nothing less. We have 4 mobile providers, does any of them provide 3G/UMTS services? We have 7 ISPs non of which provides a different package, just different pricing. All capped, max bandwidth of 1Mbps. No SDSL, no 4Mbps, etc. No one is innovating, it's a boring repetition of offerings priced differently. Broadband speed isn't for browsing, you will never need more than 256kb if browsing is all you, not with IPv4 and non-flashy webpages anyway. There are other applications for broadband, VoIP, IPTV, P2P and Video Conferencing come to mind. Try running 2 VoIP phones over 1024kb.

Though in Jordan; we lag behind in terms of fixed broadband speeds -not pricing- to the mere nuisance of the well-off internet addicts, yet we're far more advanced in the telecommunication industry across the region in terms of liberalization, competition, future-proof infrastructure, technology-agnosticism and overall entrepreneurship and innovation: Jordan pride itself with abundant of firsts in this industry… and this should be credited.
