We initially envisioned OpenIX as a program that provides grants, training, technical assistance, and equipment to set up micro-efficient IXs—neutral hubs where networks openly peer and enjoy low-cost colocation. The vision was to bring internet content and service providers together locally, enabling data to be exchanged within Lebanon instead of traversing distant overseas hubs.

The past year has been one of immense growth and learning for our team and the communities we serve. We've made significant strides in building stronger networks, responding to emerging crises, and laying the groundwork for more impactful initiatives. Yet, as we reflect on our progress, it's clear that there is much more to be done. The journey has just begun, and the challenges we face in such a dynamic region demand continued adaptability, commitment, and courage. Our roadmap to 2027 isn't just a plan—it's a promise to keep pushing forward, to create lasting change.

With the escalating potential for military conflict in Lebanon, the P Foundation has activated its crisis response plan. This initiative is undertaken in close partnership with the Lebanese Ministry of Telecom, and local organizations.

Similar to MediaGuard Continuity Plan, this plan augments the existing P Foundation programs, enhancing their capacity and introducing new services.

Given the recent escalaction in Gaza, we perceive an escalating risk of military conflict between Israel and Lebanon.

We're concerned that many media outlets, despite having business continuity plans, may be underestimating the scale of a potential conflict.
