Lebanon to get higher-speed internet
19 February 2009
BEIRUT: Internet speed in Lebanon is expected to become 20 times faster in two months once the country gets linked to a cable stretching from Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, a statement by the Telecommunication Ministry said on Wednesday. Telecom Minister Jebran Bassil signed a preliminary agreement in Barcelona with Kuwait-based Mada Communication company and Saudi STC company . The agreement stipulates that the companies will install the internet cable to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. Bassil hopes that the project will be accomplished in two months, stressing that the Lebanese government will not spend any money from its pocket on this cable. The statement said that the rates offered in Lebanon will be very competitive. Lebanon introduced three years the fast internet system DSL three years ago. But critics say that the DSL connection is sill far lower then other internet in the region. - The Daily Star

I think zawya can afford to hire better writers or maybe even better editors. The quality of this article is very low.

This article wasn’t written by a Zawya writer. It’s from the newspaper mentioned in the bottom as you can see. This daily usually publishes good quality stories. If you consider this one a low quality article then it would be one of the few exceptions.
