“This will really change the Internet landscape in Lebanon”

July 6, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

The Daily Star has some good news:

In a statement released by the Telecommunications Ministry Tuesday, Sehnawi confirmed that people could expect “important developments” in the [internet] sector that “will coincide with the liberalization of the international capacities known as IMEWE and Cadmos.”

But wait:

Sehnawi would present a draft bill to the Cabinet in the coming three weeks that would reduce the prices of Internet services in the country.

In other words, there’s a wait ahead. We still need a government bill to reduce the prices of internet in Lebanon. We have a long way to go..
