Technology / prices in Dubai

[Peterc]

As we all know Dubai is for the rich and famous. Does any one know what the technology is like there eg internet service providers and so on. Also, any clues how much house / flat rental is over there, quite expensive I would expect?

Dubai offers the most advance gadgets in technology, they are affordable because of the fact that Dubai is a tax free city including the rest of the emirates. Food, clothings, gold, etc. are also affordable, there are shopping festivals within the year and the prices really drop off...when they say sale then it's really a REAL SALE. The expensive thing here is the rents of flats, apartelle and villas and even the hotels charge pretty high. Check out Dubai sites and I assure you you will find it amazing and interesting.

What is the Internet speed like in Dubai. Can you get fast broadband connections. When we move it would be nice to use skype and webcams to keep in touch with family back home.
