What's this blog post about?

Lebanon, a historic country with influences from both East and West, has a unique internet connection system compared to most other countries. All connectivity to the outside world flows through a single network, Ogero. The Ministry of Telecommunications plans to improve connectivity by 2020, including deploying fiber optic cabling throughout the country. Internet penetration in Lebanon is around 75%, but speeds are low, typically in single-digit megabits per second. Deploying a local network in Beirut has reduced latency by approximately 50 milliseconds, making internet access faster and safer for users in Lebanon.
