Sovereignty of Service
The article focuses on the efforts of the Lebanese Ministry of Communications to regain service sovereignty by shutting down unlicensed internet networks that control a significant portion of the country's telecommunications sector. After years of chaotic spread of these networks—which use legitimate sources for capacity and distribution in an illegal manner—the ministry announced the start of campaigns to remove them and called on users to transition to licensed service providers. This step underscores that restoring control over the telecommunications sector reflects a return of the state's role and sovereignty, sending a message that adherence to the law and effective enforcement are the foundation for rebuilding trust and stabilizing the sector. In turn, this has implications for the concept of national sovereignty, extending beyond military dominance to include economic and service sovereignty.
