Yes a plain big FUCK YOU goes to the Lebanese Govt, Lebanese Telecom Minister and to each and every person in the decision making process in Telecom industry – min kill albeh – to every and each single one of you – FUCK YOU – even tho you don’t really need that since you are already fucking each other and on the way fucking up our life, careers and start-ups …

The reason behind this rage : We are all aware that Lebanon has the 5th slowest internet on earth despite being located in the middle of this planet – we are not in some remote area where connectivity is hard, no we are in the middle of it ! yet our govt is failing – yet again – to provide us with basic internet connectivity !

Mada signs regional cable network agreement to transform telecom in Middle East
Originating in Fujairah (United Arab Emirates) the 12.8 Terabits per second fiber optic cable will pass through Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Amman (Jordan), Tartous (Syria) and will end in Istanbul (Turkey).

Imagine it – it is going around us !

So other than more and never ending frustration – just think about it ! Think of the unfair growing gap between Lebanon-Syria-Jordan-UAE-Turkey-KSA ! In an information age, this is litterally like people upgrading to Ferraris while we are still using only its logo aka horses/donkeys without even organized roads.

It is not in the best interest of Syria and Jordan to sell us later – so by crippling lebanese tech sector, theirs is flourishing – and if they do sell us, they will sure sell at way higher prices – they will have control…. and this is the best case scenario.

This whole infrastructur-ing thing and cabling is going to have effect for years to come – so seriously, honestly, deeply FUCK YOU – I am keeping an eye on any public appearance for those d****.

Will make sure they hear my opinion in person even if it gets me arrested...

I concur.
BTW Nobody have the privilege to arrest us as long as we don't swear(or more accurately, write publicly what they all deserve) the so called president and Lebanese army (wannabe army that never ever protect us).

Mada was about to open in Lebanon. but the ministry decided not to let it and held of all its hardware in the PORT for several months. Sadly almost noone heard of that story.
This is one more reason to make the liua active:

simply why ?? to prove how much they know what they're doing ?

I think Mada's CEO is Lebanese.His name is Charles Hage.

Politicians are too busy playing the mouse and the cat. The government can't even take one simple decision.

Shame on such a system that does not encourage advancement!

true, he is actually the full owner too...

rtp

other than venting, cursing wont help

anywayz i think we need to do something about it... did anybody try to contact this "Hage guy" maybe we can get some info why the goverment didnt take the project and stuff(other than being stupid ofcourse)

if somebody knows some ppl on MTV or something maybe if the media fucking move there ass this wouldnt be happening...

Actually, as I said above, our dear government is holding most of his hardware on the PORT.
he is losing several millions.

This is the least he can do.
Our government is retarded and does not care for anything unless it gives them money...

anyways, some of mada products include a very nice MOBI like Wireless adapter than can go up to 7mbps!
These were going to launch in Lebanon.

Sadly, it won't, nothing will.

Our only solution is a real movement not just forum talks.

Grrr i'd love one day that i can call the army to protect me while theirs a conflict on the streets but guess what they wont do a thing , country hein ??

So what shall we do now? Go make a protest and burn some tires? I would love to do that but in this stupid country they would directly turn it to a political. You see, they always talk about wanting to make the "economy" better etc... But when they talk they don't mention which economy, seems like they are interested in their economy and not that of the country.

Yes my friends, this country sucks on all levels and I am hating every bit of it, but what can we really do? Even if we make a move, many people wont support us simply because either they run their own illegal cable business, or are ignorant to an extent that all they need is to have a connection on which Facebook works properly.

I am really sad to hear about this now. FOL!

EDIT: Since it has been long since there has been any "mozaharat", how about we organised a peaceful protest in downtown? I mean its the right of every citizen to protest anywhere he/she likes so why don't we do it? Maybe we can bring some numbers of people, who knows...

I think the best way is to start doing demonstrations right in the downtown and if we get some large numbers we can try to make it a bad season for the business's there by planting up some tents maybe :P. which would form a bigger pressure on the government.

as i said in a previous thread there are over 1 million lebanese internet users. This is a large number of a protest, it can really give a positive influence.
We should get/demand more rights as internet Users.

Lets do it then, I think university students would be the first to join us. I can try to influence as much people as possible at my uni to form a big group to join the protest.

al_jamal

just cut the lines to their houses, parliament and so on, so that they dont have internet :)

I already registered the domain liua.org (lebanese internet users association), the 1st spread needs to be online via emails/facebook/website ...
what do you think? (I already suggested this as a lebgeeks project today).

I think if we start from here we can reach every lebanese usign the internet (95+% of online lebanese are on facebook

http://www.socialbakers.com/facebook-statistics/lebanon

otal Facebook Users: 	974 980 	Penetration of population: 	23.63%
Position in the list: 	68. 	Penetration of online pop.: 	97.50%

OKAY guys, lets protest..

dan961

The best way is to contact MTV Newsroom and ask them if they could make a report about it. (They make daily reports).They would love to do it since they have problems with Minister Charbel nahhas.
