The UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has lifted its ban on du Telecom. The regulator had previously placed a ban on the telecommunications provider after it had launced an advertising campaign that advertised its network as a 4G network.

Du uses what is considered to be a less advanced technology called HSPA+. Following an investigation, the TRA concluded that du can restart its 4G advertising campaign. However, the telecom company's technology must be clearly specified in its campaign.

According to The National, telecoms operator du plans to double the amount of advertising it places on digital media over the next two years. Osman Sultan, the chief executive of du, says that the company is aiming to devote more than 14 per cent of its advertising budget to online media by 2013.

"Digital media in 2010 represented a bit more than 7 per cent of our spending. I'm expecting this to double in the next two years," he said. Telecoms companies rank as the highest advertising spenders in the Middle East and North Africa region, according to the Pan Arab Research Centre.

Zain, STC and Mobily top the list of the largest advertisers in the region last year, according to PARC. Du ranks 23rd in the region, ahead of players such as McDonald's, Toyota and Gillette, according to PARC. Mr Sultan was speaking at this week's Dubai International Advertising Festival, which also comprises the Dubai Lynx advertising awards.
