Anarchy Brings Low Telecom Prices In Somalia

AlanKHG writes "As Somalia has been without a government for 13 years, its telecom market has gone unregulated. In that time, the service has become some of the best in Africa. On the other hand, some of the downsides of a society without government are visible, as the country is divided by warring factions and the roads have gone completely unmaintained."

Not to sound pompous, but is this really that high of a standard? I'm not trolling, I just really don't know.

Probably mostly cellular

If it's cellular-based, that ought to make it much less expensive, reliable, and easier to extend then if they are laying and maintaining cables to homes and businesses.
