question 125

Multiple Choice

Wataniya Mobile
Wataniya Mobile is offering cellular service in the Palestinian territories. It is only the second cellphone carrier in the region and is significant because it is owned by foreign companies and investors like the Qatari royal family and the Palestine Investment Fund. The new service is aimed at increasing cellphone penetration, which is only 35%, in this economically challenged area. It has not been easy for Wataniya, though. It took two years to gain the required license from Israel, which controls the Palestinian territories' airwaves and bandwidth required for the service. Even though Wataniya is allowed bandwidth, it has only received 3.8 megahertz of bandwidth from Israel, which is not enough for it to offer 3G mobile services that enable Web browsing and email.
-Refer to Wataniya Mobile. Israel's control of licensing and the limitation on the amount of bandwidth allotted to Wataniya Mobile is part of which environment?

• A) cultural
• B) economic
• C) political and legal
• D) demographic
• E) resource
