Palestinians to Get Cell Phone Network

by Terrence O'Brien on December 18, 2007 at 10:55 AM

Palestinian Cell Phone Network
The Palestinians may be struggling for many things, but one thing they definitely have are cell phone networks. Or at least they will. Currently, Palestinians have one cell phone network, but the Associated Press is reporting that the Israeli government plans to announce its plans to allow the Palestinians to build a second cell phone network to meet increasing demand.

The Palestinian Authority has been requesting permission to build such a network since 2000, but has been repeatedly rebuffed following surges in violence. This is seen as a sign of cooling tensions.
