Yes to 3G!
Le ministre démissionnaire des Télécommunications, Charbel Nahas, a annoncé hier que les premiers tests 3,5 G effectués sur le réseau de téléphonie mobile de troisième génération (3G) de l’opérateur alfa se sont révélés concluants.[LorientLejour]
No to 3G!
Cedarcom, a provider of fixed and mobile wireless broadband internet services in Lebanon, has issued a statement setting out its reasons for launching legal action against the 3G development plans [Link]
Nicely done, minister Nahhas, and keep up the good work. And please don’t mind the bloodsucking vampires of Cedarcom and other soulless private telecommunication companies.
The lousy Cedarcom has Kareem Hamadeh on its board (son of Marwan Hmadeh, the ex-Telcom minister). Go figure. NO to the private sector on this one – it just can’t be trusted.
What a shame… so the post on Gino’s blog about the Lebanese want fast internet scam seems to be true somewhat….
