Ben Novak - MarcoPolis

The prospects for Lebanon ICT development and broadband development will remain good in Lebanon. Over the past 4-5 years we have seen growth in Lebanon ICT sector of around 15-20% and this has been restricted by the unavailability of the basic ingredients for internet-international capacity and availability of access lines in Lebanon ICT sector. If these restrictions were moved, these ingredients present, and reform took place, we could easily see 40-50% growth in the telecom sector .

The purpose of launching a new operator is to put pressure on the existing operators, from a competitive point of view: in order to drop prices, improve services. Launching a new operator would not add any value to the current setup in Lebanon.
