Summary

Telecommunications Minister Boutros Harb vowed Wednesday to expand the mobile network and crack down on jammers and repeaters in a bid to improve the quality of services provided by the two mobile operators touch and Alfa.

Harb met Monday and Tuesday with the management of the two mobile operators to discuss the recent deterioration in the quality of calls.

Harb also said Ogero would be taking some technical measures to support the two mobile operators, adding that this would help improve the quality of mobile services.
