What Will The Impact of Faster Internet Be In Lebanon?

Qifa Nabki took a shot at answering:

I hope this spurs more innovation and independence in Lebanon’s media sector, and that a new generation of video bloggers and cyber-activists emerge who will speak the truth to power, at least while they’re not streaming porn, downloading pirated movies, and playing network games.

I think it’s too early for this kind of development. The internet has gotten faster, but it’s still not video-fast. Plus there’s those terrible bandwidth caps that will keep TV stations comfortable .

But indeed, it’s very interesting to see how the media landscape will eventually change with faster internet. I predict newspapers will be the first to feel the heat. Oh and we’ll probably start seeing more “YouTube scandals” on TV.
