I’m surfing the net at this moment, and as we speak I feel the digital wind hit my face. Although the OCED defines broadband as 256k I...</description></item><item><title>For my Papa Diogo</title><link>http://www.broadbandlebanon.org/ForumsThreadsPosts.aspx?pageid=18&amp;PID=6&amp;ForumID=8&amp;ThreadID=10</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008</pubDate><description>June 25th 10 a.m



Today is one of the most important days of my young life. I have been waiting for this since the first day of my conception, and now is the time…

I am (Broadband Manifesto) a declaration of the deeds and principles that recognize broadband as a critical tool for sustained economic growth in a knowledge-based economy.

Just finished our second meeting for the broadband manifesto and there are several developments. Other then the mouth watering sushi we ate for lunch, the debate on the table was vibrant, the decisions made were clear, but the process was tiring and there are still many steps...</description></item><item><title>I Feel Violated but for a Good Cause</title><link>http://www.broadbandlebanon.org/ForumsThreadsPosts.aspx?pageid=18&amp;PID=6&amp;ForumID=8&amp;ThreadID=7</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008</pubDate><description>May 22, 2008

The Broadband manifesto is going to be published soon, which means I’ll finally be born. The friends I made during the Broadband Stakeholders workshop back in January are having a series of meeting with the main stakeholders to discuss the content, format, and style of the Broadband...</description></item><item><title>Where to Start</title><link>http://www.broadbandlebanon.org/ForumsThreadsPosts.aspx?pageid=18&amp;PID=6&amp;ForumID=8&amp;ThreadID=6</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008</pubDate><description>May 1, 2008

Are there enough people who care about me? Who are they? Businessmen, civil society activists, students, senior citizens, etc. Perhaps it is best to start with a declaration of principles around broadband such as a Broadband Manifesto.

The main objective of having the manifesto is...</description></item><item><title>The Broadband Stakeholders Workshop</title><link>http://www.broadbandlebanon.org/ForumsThreadsPosts.aspx?pageid=18&amp;PID=6&amp;ForumID=8&amp;ThreadID=5</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008</pubDate><description>2:00 pm January 17, 2008

After listening to Peter Gruetter, Robert Pepper, Kamal Shehadi, and Christopher Regberg’s speeches I think it’s only safe to conclude that Lebanon has such a great business potential, and with the release of true broadband it’s a wonder what Lebanon may achieve.

I heard a bunch of very sad stories a few days ago in regards to internet accessibility in Lebanon. I’d like to share some of the stories I’ve just discovered.

Did you know that a large number of people around the mountainous area in Lebanon, and even the cities to some...</description></item><item><title>My Baby Shower</title><link>http://www.broadbandlebanon.org/ForumsThreadsPosts.aspx?pageid=18&amp;PID=6&amp;ForumID=8&amp;ThreadID=3</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008</pubDate><description>8:00 am January 17, 2008

I’m so nervous! What if they don’t like me? What if I’m not good enough for them? What if they decide that broadband won’t benefit them? Did I say I am nervous, well I am! I didn’t sleep all night yesterday in anticipation of the event today: The Broadband Stakeholders...</description></item><item><title>Who am I?</title><link>http://www.broadbandlebanon.org/ForumsThreadsPosts.aspx?pageid=18&amp;PID=6&amp;ForumID=8&amp;ThreadID=2</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jul 2008</pubDate><description>Morning of January 14, 2008
