    Lebanon has long had the physical capacity to supply cheap, high-speed Internet to the country and in December 2010 a 13,000km IMEWE (India- Middle East- Western Europe) submarine fiber optic cable, which linked Lebanon as far east to India and west to France, became operational.

    But Lebanon delayed access to the cable until July after internal bickering between the Ministry of Telecommunications and Ogero, the government’s land-line provider, over rights to tenures.

    The deadlocks are considered politically motivated, as the Ministry and Ogero are each controlled by opposing sides of Lebanon’s deep political divide based on sect and ideology.
