August 15, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
Some juicy details from today’s Daily Star:
According to sources close to the affair, [the unveiling of the IMEWE cable] was to feature a seated dinner for some 500 persons at the prestigious Pavillion Biel, prime time live television coverage and even Lebanese Opera singer Hiba Kawas, who was commissioned to write a song for the event, performed with a full orchestra. Despite the fact that the Lebanese leadership failed to deliver broadband to its citizens for the past decade, some 10 trophies were to be crafted by the Lebanese sculptor Rudy Rahme and distributed to various officials.
Do read the entire Daily Star report by Habib Battah. It’s an excellent, sober and critical analysis of the current government’s plans to unveil a fast internet connection in Lebanon.
