Oman's Nawras to launch IPO in September
Roadshows could be delayed for two weeks


Oman's Nawras, a subsidiary of Qatar Telecommunication, is set to launch its initial public offering in September, a company official said yesterday.
Nawras, which broke the monopoly of state-controlled Omantel in 2006, agreed to float 40 per cent of its capital in February under the condition of its licence but the government granted the company an extension to September.

"The official date for the IPO is September 1. The roadshow may be delayed by two weeks due to Ramadan," said the official who did not want to be identified.
The roadshow for the share sale will be open to both local and international investors, said the official but declined to provide any details on the pricing.

Hack Attack - UAE Online iNTERNET Security EXPOSED !

One of my online BlackHat friend calmly recommended that she installed Hotspot Shield, a free piece of software that ensures your computer flashes a US IP address to any website that comes asking. Unfortunately, Dubai was wise to this particular scam and had blocked the website so she couldn’t download it, along with all other websites offering a similar service. Undeterred, she pointed me towards The Pirate Bay, which somehow remains open for business. she mean how, just how? The UAE has blocked Flickr because there are bottoms on it, and just occasionally, the suggestion of other dangly bits. The Pirate Bay – which offers a range of bottoms to suit every need, including midget and donkey bottoms for anybody having a really slow afternoon – remains blissfully undisturbed.
