Research: Searching for Signal – Lebanon’s Telecom Project

Executive Summary The Telecommunication (Telecom) sector in Lebanon, often dubbed the country’s “oil,” historically stood as the third-largest revenue-generating sector, contributing over USD 1.2 billion to the state treasury in 2016. Over the years, the sector became infamously known for its slow, unreliable, and overpriced services.
