Quote from Samer Karam - Flip the Switch. BREAKING NEWS: sources have informed me that the lighting of the IMEWE cable HAS BEGUN! a TIER 1 contract has been...

The conflict is not between MOT & OGERO, it's between some people in both sides. MOT will have the last word in any matter Says Sahnaoui.

WAAT! Not acceptable! First implication here is that prices won't be reduced. Second implication, internet that is worth 120 dollars in our current standards?! that's less than 2 Mbps speed and not more than 10 Gbytes of allowed quota!

hussam

so 15 month of internet that's already been paid for won't be used?

rtp

nop not 15 month, most likely years ^_^

if you translate that from the lebanese language to the modern man language :D

I think he meant "The plan to finalize the whole fiber installements still need 15 months."

Exactly.

Backbone Fiber optics ? or residential availability of fiber optics installations ?

I think the minister is just giving approximations. There is no actual pl an that costs 40$.

man , he's giving an approximation ... and if you notice private DSL providers ( as sodetel , cyberia etcc ) .. there is actually a 40$ plan... 512k 4GB down and 4GB up for 39.99$ ..

They cannot launch IMEWE maybe. They can lunch it only.
"NEW On Tuesday 3/1/2006, the ministry has signed an agreement with the private sector Data providers and ISP's to lunch the DSL services in Lebanon. Click here to view the agreement text (in Arabic)."

They are lunching DSL last 5 years.

Hehe, someone's QA department is verrrrry lazy.

Back on topic: Sign of the times: my dinky little gym now offers free wifi.

Mind you, aside from chatting, I don't know why it is needed there. Hopefully, this is a trend we will see in other places too.

Minister of Telecommunications Nicolas Sehnaoui on tayyar forum ( i cannot confirm it is him because the user nsehnaoui has only 1 post ).

Hi guys. It's Nicolas. Hold your breath. I promised it and am goind to do it. We waited 2 years we can wait a few weeks. Price reduction will be sent to council of ministers very soon and hopefully prices will go down sharply.

As for Imewe we did open a 10Gbs new capacity on this cable. But the quality only improved in most of the ISP's and not in Ogero for reasons i will divulge only if the situation doesn't change rapidly on this issue.

You can write to me directly for any useful feedback on any issue at nsehnaoui@idm.net.lb as i check my email more regulraly than the forum.

All the best to all of you, and pray that we succeed in the tasks we have set forth.

Nicolas

I edited my post to put his title

babum

why would he use an email @idm ?

mahmoud-brk

If he's not a fake user, invite him to LebGeeks.

In other words, this will be stalled because it helps other ISPs at the expense of Ogero?
