It won't happen. Lebanon's economy is based on those made-up services and fake or illegal jobs. You have the generator guy (they cut electricity to give them business), the illegal cable channels guy, the internet guy, the guy who yells jounieh/jbeil at bus stops, etc...etc...
It wasn't till a decade ago till they stopped people without a red plate from working as taxi drivers and only because this was dangerous.
But yes, I a definitely agree. Illegal activity needs to completely stop in order to spread awareness that legal internet is much better.

I hope he don't want to screw sector completely. Bassil tried that.
That might hurt VISP since you guys have a lot of re-sellers who use their own wireless networks.
