Saudi telecommunications companies STC and Mobily have increased the price of their data packages by up to 50%, according to Makkah Arabic newspaper. There was a noticeable halt in the sales of data cards last week, for 600 and 300 gigabyte data packages as it goes into preparation for a hike in rates.

The new price hike has no legal support or precedent. It reflects the market monopoly led by the main telecom service provider with the support of other companies, and it shows they can increase the prices at any time they wished
