it's not the government's fault, it's our people's fault. the government represents the people, it is always the case, retarted governments are the results of retarted societies.
now let me demonstrate here why the slow internet is our fault(it is my fault too
)
1)what exactly are we doign in order to pressure the government to improve our internet?
2)what are we doing to raise people's awareness on the importance of cheap high speed internet in lebanon?
our programers are maybe the best in the world, and our wages are relativly cheap, starting salaries abraod for a CS major is like 2000-3000 $ a month, in lebanon 1000$ per employee a month would be great as a starting salary, software companies would have loved to open branches here if we had a good internet. but assume microsoft or electronic arts open a branch here, and we design for them a 1 GB worth of code a month(masalan and that is the least) can we upload them?
internet could have done alot to jump start our economy, make web hosting possible, we could have hosted online games, created our own social networks liek facebook and such here in lebanon. projects worth millions of dollars
but everyday our people learn to accept the world the way it is, and accept the country the way it is, you hear words like"well this is lebanon" or worse"God will eventualy give us justice" and then we envy europe
the french hanged their kings and priests on ropes before they got that internet
no country got their prosperity handed to them on a silver plate
