I think a site needs to go up. This site should be documenting, in detail, what the reality of the situation is in lebanon with it's internet, what lebanon's internet situation is like compared to other countries, and lastly, what the government is or isn't doing to change it.
It will spread via social networks like wildfire. I think it's a very good way to start to combat it.

Like change.org.lb or something.

dont you think its a bit similar to obama's change ? which did not change at all ? :P i set up the LIX page facebook yesterday at night we already have about a 100 i guess but a website would be a gr8 add on , we need to spread this thing in twitter and FB as well , im not so good with" marketing "

Social media marketing is my speciality :)
As for a website, I'll tell you what. If someone gets a host/domain situation up and running, I'll gladly take it and built a website for it, for free.
pikatore
Yeah, the 'change' thing, that was going through my head as well. How about something involving the word 'revolution'?
Digital revolution, internet revolution, technology, new generation, etc, etc
pikatore
we'll also need a list of affiliates/sponsors to connect with. who can produce a good list?

well, a blog on a dedicated domain would be an excellent start, so we will need a couple of authors who know what they are talking about.
i can then easily wire it to output new posts automatically to facebook and twitter, and have other bells and whistles... need to do a tiny bit of research to get a better idea of that step.
but yeah, LIX sounds pretty cool. I think a .org/.org.lb domain would be appropriate, but as for the actual name.... lix.org.lb perhaps?
J4D
yeah i guess that would be gr8 ! we have many authors who will know about what they are talking , including the man who proposed this plan : Teodor . i guess we should start working on this ASAP , but we need input from the others ! lets do this thing !

i can contribute in buying the domain , but hosting sound expensive
nuclearcat
i have dedicated server and can setup all stuff (php/mysql/etc)
J4D
you know guys , im about to cry :P tears of joy of course ! :D this is team work ! this is how things are DONE :) gr8 contribution from you guys : pikatore , hajj and nuclearcat ! now a webpage can be setup .
@ pikatore : i assume you want to be in charge of the site , so feel free to do what you think is appropriate :) and suitable for" LIX "
nuclearcat
Domain btw i can buy too, give me name all of you like - u will see in 1 day all running and FTP access there :-)
hj88
decide on a domain so i buy it, lix.org is already taken
J4D
i suggest a
.com "common between end-users and a symbol" what do you think guys ? lix.com is good ?
or lix.net ?
nuclearcat wroteu will see in 1 day all running and FTP access there :-)
super !
samer
The only "lix" domain available is a .biz
(unless you get an obscure country code domain à la .tk)
J4D
lixchange.com just surfed up in mind ? good enough ?
WizaRd
how about lix4u.com/net/org ?
euryale
lebix.com
