NNA - Tele-Communication Minister Johnny Corm said that he took the decision to raise prices for telecommunications and Internet services due to problems with service providers and government officials.

He explained in an interview with VDL that no sector can continue to work at a price of 1500 Lebanese pounds per US dollar in this case, expressing his fears of the sector's collapse.

Corm said he understands the suffering of the citizens, noting that the increase in customs duties was a requirement.
