On June 1, 2004, Zain (formerly known as MTC Group), was tendered a 4-year agreement by the Lebanese government to manage one of the country’s two existing mobile networks (Mobile Interim Company 2 – MIC2). In November 2004, the operation was branded as ''mtc touch'', then as ''touch'' since June 2012. It remains today the sole subsidiary amongst 6 others not to be owned by Zain Group. All of Touch’s employees are Lebanese. In November 2011, Touch launched 3G/HSPA+ service in the country meanwhile the company planned the construction of 50 sites that will provide 4G coverage.
