BEZQ

Bezeq the Israeli Telecommunication Corp. Ltd.

A provider of fixed-line phone, broadband internet, and pay-TV services, Bezeq is Israel's largest telecommunications company. It was founded in 1984 when the Israeli government spun off its telephone operations from the Ministry of Communications into a state-owned corporation. The name "Bezeq" comes from the Hebrew word for "lightning" — fitting for a company that carries signals at the speed of light.
