The rapporteur of Parliament’s Telecommunications Committee, Yassine Yassine, said that “Starlink” could provide a backup connection for institutions and vital sectors if undersea internet cables were damaged. However, it would not be a comprehensive alternative for Lebanon: the country is estimated to have between 4 and 6 million internet users, while the service is limited by its capacity and high cost. It also requires special receiving equipment, and subscriptions could cost between $40 and $400, making the service inaccessible or unaffordable for everyone. Yassine called for a broader plan that includes updating the Telecommunications Law, which dates back around 24 years, developing infrastructure, regulating the sector, and combating illegal internet services to ensure continuity of service at a fair cost.
