The UAE’s ban on voice over internet protocol (VoIP) websites and related services is slowing down business growth, according to respondents surveyed at itp.net.

A recent poll run over the past four weeks asked visitors to the popular technology portal, ‘Do you feel the current VoIP (voice over internet) restrictions in the UAE are limiting your business's potential growth?’.

Of the 1492 users that responded, more than three quarters (just over 77%) answered ‘Yes, very much’, with a further 12.1% confirming, ‘To a degree, yes’.
