Do Not Call Registry in Lebanon?

The Wall Street Journal writes (PDF): “Lebanese residents below the Litani River reported getting telemarketer-style automated phone calls from Israel telling them to flee north”. Makes me wonder whether Lebanon has a National Do Not Call registry...

Almost Like Being There

For Israeli expatriates these are difficult times to be thousands of miles away. One thing that makes it a little bit easier is See Israel: for $25/month one can watch Israeli TV on his PC. Ten channels, including all major stations (1, 2, and 10), are broadcast in real-time. Broadcasts are presented in lower (500 kbps) and higher (750 kbps) quality. As IP streaming goes, image quality is excellent (comparable to VHS), the delay minimal and hiccups extremely rare.
