Lebanon's telecom sector was identified as a key area for privatization discussions.

The International Telecommunication Union reported on Lebanon's slow internet speeds.
Majority supports change (52% full privatization, 33% partial). Lebanon pays $7.4/GB vs UAE $0.88. Executive Magazine reports Ogero's costs exceed revenue by $180M annually. Remote workers and developers are the loudest voices.
What people are actually saying
Lebanon mobile data: $7.4/GB. UAE: $0.88. Jordan: $1.20. 6× the regional average for worse service. Privatization isn't optional — it's economic survival for every freelancer and remote worker.
I work remotely for a European company. Internet drops 3-4 times daily. Lost a client during a Zoom call. Fiber is on my street in Hamra but Ogero says "no capacity." Paying first-world prices for dial-up quality.
40ms ping to EU servers in 2026. My friends in Amman get 8ms. Every developer I know who hasn't left is planning to. Remote work is impossible at these speeds.
