TRA signs deal to market UAE domain registration
Injazat Data Systems and the TRA’s Computer Emergency Response Team sign MOU to market .ae domain names

The UAE’s telecom regulator has signed a deal with one of the country’s leading information technology and managed services providers to market the nation’s website registrations.
The UAE has a 43% internet penetration rate but the telecommunications regulatory authority (TRA) hopes that the memorandum of understanding inked by Injazat Data Systems and the TRA’s Computer Emergency Response Team (aeCERT) to market the “.ae” domain name will help to boost that figure.
TRA director general Mohamed Nasser Al Ghanim described the deal as “an important step in providing Injazat with high-quality services that will protect its IT infrastructure via aeCERT, whose objectives are to enhance the cyber security law and assist in the creation of new ones and enhance information security awareness across the UAE”.
Under the terms of the agreement, Injazat will market and register “.ae” website domains in the UAE, which have been regulated by the TRA since 2007. The TRA claims that internet use in the Middle East grew by 1,296% from 2000 to 2008, but it said that Arabic content currently accounts for less than 1% of all online content.
The CEO of Injazat, Ibrahim Lari, said: “This agreement marks a major milestone for Injazat and significantly expands our IT services portfolio. The UAE’s rapidly growing internet market requires constant expansions in capabilities, services and infrastructure. Our accreditation as a domain registrar will enable us to better assist the TRA in its goal of creating an optimal enabling environment for the UAE’s information and communications technology sector.”
Injazat Data Systems is a joint venture between Mubadala Development Company and EDS. The company holds more than 50% of the UAE’s IT outsourcing market.

UAe's one of Asias most productive country. I guess, its cool to live in that place and own a house. In the current Real Estate market, whether to rent or buy is tricky, and a lot of people look into rent to buy options. Rent to buy, or lease to own, is where a renter wants the option to purchase a rental property, and for an upfront down payment, usually 3 to 5 % of the price – more than a payday cash advance, and a premium on top of rent, they can option to buy at the end of the lease, and all payments above rent are applied to the purchase price. A rent to buy can save a lot of cash off a mortgage loan, and maybe save a loan till payday or so a year.
