InfoConnect takes place at the end of January every year and its usually the best time to renew your internet subscription since all the internet providers and mobile phone operators have the best deals. InfoConnect was supposed to take place from January 24th to the 30th of this month but a couple of weeks ago a small messaged popped up on their website stating:
INFOCONNECT/INFOBIZ exhibitions have been postponed. New Dates will be advised in due course.
Yesterday I heard from a friend that InfoConnect has now been canceled for this year. Supposedly the internet providers came together and decided they would rather not pay the exhibition fees and instead offer their discounted prices directly to consumers. The three big players, Qualitynet, Fast Telco and KEMS have already started teasing their offers on their instagram accounts. That actually sucks since we don’t have that many interesting expos that take place at the fair grounds, and InfoConnect was one that a lot of people went to. In any case once all the ISP’s have their offers up I’ll post a comparison chart like I do every year.

Yes. I was told by someone at an ISP at the beginning of December that the ISPs decided to stop participating in InfoConnect because the expo is becoming more of a “mobile accessories” show with nothing new or of interest.
If InfoConnect 2016 was anything like last year, I agree many wouldn’t turn up at all – that’s because it was a huge flop as far as renewing your internet was concerned as none of the 4-5 ISPs had any new or interesting offers. If anything, they had INCREASED their prices!
Your friend is right
Any idea if WIMD has any offers ?
Was just at the fair ground, infoconnect has been canceled, :(. Last year i had a great offer for 16 mb they returned 75% cash back and coupon for 30 kd. Was almost free. Waiting for new offers Mark please so post them.
The stock market situation would give you the answer.
Any WIMD offers?
Too bad, i’ve recently upgraded from mada to using a fibre connection and man is it great! only problem is that it’s too expensive for higher speeds!
Looking forward to the post with the offers.
The ISP situation is really horrible in Kuwait. In KSA they are paying for 100Mb lines less than we are paying for 20Mb line here in Kuwait.
This price list set by MOI should be removed, free the market let there be competition.
hey there
any news on the info connect. eagerly waiting
Hey mark, could you please post the prices/offers. Thanks in advance.
