According to financial daily Globes, the plan will see the new fiber-optic-based network replace the existing copper cables that will allow very high surfing speeds, and will substantially improve internet speeds in Israel. This, in turn, will allow for many new applications to be introduced, chiefly to accelerate the provision of digital services to both the domestic and enterprise markets.
