Where Did the Money Go?
October 14, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
Habib Battah on Lebanese ISPs pocketing the fees for fast internet without offering the actual service:
Apparently when Telecom Minister Nicolas Sehnawi promised fast internet would be released in late September, the infrastructure was not ready yet. Still, Cyberia offered its customers 4mbps internet and charged $84 for it. Where did that money go?
ISPs shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it: If they get paid for fast internet, they should offer fast internet. If they can’t, you should get your money back.
