Haitham Sabbah

Middle Eastern audiences are literally disconnected from the rest of the world and the rest of their countrymen. Less than four per cent of people in the Arab world are internet users, according to ITU data. The penetration rate is just 3.7% – in a region with an 8.59% penetration in landline subscribers, and 14.51% in mobile subscribers, Lebanon said.
