Youssef Denies Halting DSL, HDSL Licenses: Requests on Hold over Lack of Modems
OGERO Telecom General Manager Abdul Monhem Youssef denied on Friday reports that he had halted granting DSL and HDSL licenses to the Telecommunications Ministry and private companies.
He told the Central News Agency that OGERO is waiting to accept new requests to install DSL internet connection because of a shortage of modems caused by the Telecom Ministry’s decision to stop funding the company.
He revealed that the application requests for DSL connections exceed 3000.
“I have sent caretaker Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas several requests asking him for funds to purchase modems, but we haven’t received a reply,” he added.
“So we are now faced with either accepting this reality or continuing on accepting applications, forcing the clients to wait until modems are provided,” he stated.
Youssef said that this problem affects the ministry and OGERO.
He added however that a request has been made to another source to provide the company with modems that may be delivered in six to eight weeks.
