Public phone booths: the subject of sheer negligence

It been month since Ogero Telecom halted the issuance of phone cards. Phone cards that were otherwise providing a cheaper form of communication for Lebanese and foreigners alike.

And so, for the lack of better use, these phone booths especially in the Bekaa area have become the subject of negligence; turning into targets for vandalism and advertising posters.

It is noteworthy, that the cost of each individual phone booth amounts to $4000, money Lebanese taxpayers have now lost.
