Gulf News:

There has been so much talk lately about DIC looking at new locations to develop. True?

Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman:

Just recently, you allowed the private sector to take up the role of developing infrastructure within the current location by way of office towers. Will you let the private sector lead the next phase of expansion?

Recently, you merged the e-hosting services with that of Data Fort, the IT security services provider. The rationale?

DIC's e-hosting was done in conjunction with IBM. Are they still a partner after the recent changes?

It has been said that DIC might start offering full wireless connectivity within the entire free zone. What is the status of the programme?

You recently conducted an independent customer survey for the first time. Any startling findings?

What is the position of DIC with regard to emiratisation? Is there any pressure to meet any sort of numbers?
