The United Arab Emirates (which includes Dubai) is not Saudi Arabia which is a separate country. The UAE borders Saudi Arabia.
If you’re looking for money, Dubai is a good place to start.
Agreed that is where most of the discretionary money really is.

Looks like it is not just Boost-
Amazon really wants you to join the Amazon Prime family and buy all of your stuff from them. To help with this, Amazon is reportedly in talks with Dish, T-Mobile, and Verizon to sell wireless phone plans for free or as little as $10 a month. This comes from Bloomberg, who talked with people who had knowledge of the plans.

Amazon denies reports of a Prime wireless plan, but I hope it happens
A report from Bloomberg News claims that Amazon is planning on offering a low-cost wireless plan to Prime members.

I don't see how this will work. So Amazon has made deals with T mobile and DISH and ATT but they will some how be the one you go through for cell phone service? Or is it that Amazon will give you a discount of $10.00 on your wireless bill if you sub to Amazon Prime membership?
I think you'll be bombarded with ads.
I don't see how dish fits into this, they're relying on T-Mobile for their MVNO phone service.
I don't see how it will work at all. But I am with T-mobile and I already pay for Amazon Prime so if I get a discount, great.
I thought loaning TMobile a bunch of frequencies a couple years ago for potential hurricane relief, thinking TMobile's free service during recovery would overload TMs network, which it didn't, it wasn't needed and TM wouldn't give it back. Was putting it in service? I think he did too. So Charlie had to go to the FCC and beg them to help get it back. Never heard what happened after that."WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dish Wireless has until June 30th to build out its 5G network to cover 70% of the U.S. population, with the deadline coming a year after the company had to meet a 20% coverage milestone in June 2022."
"At CTIA’s 5G Summit this week, Dish’s EVP of Network Development Dave Mayo said that the company expects to meet that deadline."

Dish Wireless has until June 30th to build out its 5G network to cover 70% of the U.S. population; company execs are confident.www.rcrwireless.com
Then all of a sudden TM, that was far from, has a 5G Internet product that sounds a lot like what Charlie was planning.
So basically it's been in use. Just not by Charlie. Isn't he collecting rent on it?
I know something is going on, my bill went up $60! Seriously looking to leave after 30 years.
