One important criteria when investing in Starting or buying a Petrol Station is the location of the Petrol Station. How do I know the location of the Petrol Station I want to build or buy is good? They are some few questions you need to answer and gather the data to know if the location you are selecting is good. First of all, is the traffic in the location you would like to start building the petrol station. Are they many traffic in the road where you want to build the petrol station? Remember that the traffic in weekdays might be very different from weekends. Type of traffic is another important factor. Do most of the traffic are cars or trucks? And are the traffic willing to fill a lot while stopping in the location? Also, ask if the road is accessible by many cars from different locations. It is very important selecting a location where car drivers can access the petrol station very easily. In addition, accessing the petrol station from different roads to the petrol station. Being able to access the petrol station from more then one road is important factor to consider when selecting a petrol station location. It is very important selecting a location where car drivers can access the petrol station very easily. Furthermore, are they any other petrol stations around you or near by the location you are thinking of? Selecting a location where nearby they are no Petrol Stations will let car drivers come more to your petrol station. The future growth and the future projects in a certain location is important factor to consider when selecting a location. Gathering data that a certain area will be having many future project is important factor for the location.
Wish you all the best selecting location of your Petrol Station in the new year of 2010!

Difference between Super and Regular Fuel in Oman
In Oman when going to Al Maha, Shell, Oman Oil Petrol Station we do find two types of Fuel which are Super and Regular. Many people do not know the difference between super and regular. I had asked my self what is the difference between Super and Regular? The first difference between Super and Regular is the price. During writing the article the price of Super is 120 Baiza Per Litter and the Regular is 114 Baiza Per Litter. The difference between the two is 6 Baizaes.
New cars do use Super and very old cars do use Regular. Super is smoother for the car engine. Regular is harder for the car engine. One of the companies in our country which is Shell do promote their super product by, "Designed for extra kilometers at no extra cost". Usually the usage in Super is higher then Regular.
Technically, Super in Oman is 95 octane and Regular is 90 octane. Briefly octane means ability to resist knocking. The Government of Oman do set this value for the octane. octane requirement in hot countries like Oman, UAE and Qatar is higher then cold countries like France and UK. Sports cars and luxury cars usually do need higher octane.

WiMax from Product Manager from Gulf
Mena Telecom in Bahrain launched WiMax. Mobily launched a new WiFi-enabled WiMax. Algeria was the first Arab country to deploy WiMax. Five other arab countries followed Algeria and among the five three gulf countries which are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain. As I am a Product Manager in the Gulf I hear a lot about WiMax release, business case, feasibility study and Market Research and many do not know what is WiMax.
What is WiMax? WiMax stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. It is a technology that provides operators worldwide to provide Broadband Wireless solution. It can cover an area for up to 50 KM providing Internet and the speed is upto 72 Mbps. Comparing to other technologies it can cover a bigger area and provide a faster speed. Comparing to WiFi it can cover a bigger area. Comparing to ADSL it can provide similar speed or a faster speed. WiMax can be a competitive of ADSL. Moreover, WiMax can provide more then ADSL as it can provide Mobile Broadband to operators.
Some operatoars do use WiMax to cover Rural Coverage like in Algeria. Some of them use it as a Fixed Broadband and compete with ADSL. New Entrants to a market find using WiMax easier and more cost-effective then Fiber or cable like in Oman.
Nokia Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent, Nortel Networks, Huawei Technologies and many Telecommunication Global enterprises put many Human Resources, Technology, Market Research and many stuff into WiMax. WiMax is Growing and many opportunities are ahead in the gulf region and world wide.
WiMax face challenges from ADSL Broadband Internet and to win it it should be more faster and easy to use. It also do face a challenge from Mobile Broadband technology as 3G or 3.5G it should provide more mobile solution, higher speed, cheaper equipments and easier to use. Also, HSDPA do challenge WiMax. HSDPA is more mobile. But WiMax is faster then WiMax.
I do believe Operators in Middle East and business and residential customers can benefit from WiMax technology.

Before launching the Payment Gateway Information Technology Authority had made sure that there is a law which they called it E-Transactions Law which organize the online transactions.

I had liked the payment gateway solution. Government entities will be able to provide their services in a convenient way. Also, in a new way. In addition, this will let the Ministries go into the E-Government Road more then one step ahead. I want to see Sultanate of Oman ahead in the E-Government. Using the Internet in the Government Sector citizens and expatriates will make happy. This also will introduce the administration work.
Banking Industry will benefit from the Payment Gateway as well. I feel this will promote the credit card usage in the country. The number of Credit Card will increase especially if people feel they can finish their E-Government Transactions and local shopping online. For the telecommunication Industry it will encourage people to use the Internet more and this will let them make more revenue.
Entrepreneurs can benefit a lot from the payment gateway. Payment Gateway can save the cost of starting a business. They can develop a web site which is something like E-Commerce Solution. Customers can view the products online. After viewing the products they can buy online. This will let the entrepreneurs get customers inside the country and outside the country.

Busy people with busy schedule will benefit from the payment gateway as they will be able to pay their bills online.
I feel awareness and promoting the payment gateway is important thing to let the growth of usage in the country. It is not about only selling and busying inside the country.
Challenges that different segments will face are different. Start-ups will most consider about the cost of using the service and the commission they should pay to Information Technology Authority. I would suggest that ITA should provide a special offers to Omani Youth Citizens. Government Sector will face a challenge that it should change it process and let it comfortable to pay online and let people finish online. Private sector should promise people that they will deliver their services and products after people buy online. Banking Industry should let the process of obtaining the Credit Card Simpler and easier.
