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."

Awww too bad. Wouldn't wanna point out something that supports life without government control. Maybe if you enjoy torture for some reason; otherwise not. But yipes! Warring factions? Can't they just peacefully join forces and obliterate countries with oil like real nations do?

For cripes sake they need to join another country before they're all spontaneously killed by the lack of murderous politicians like the school system says to believe. Come on, they'll love it. It's freedom; we're all free. I mean except for the whole "everyone's in prison, in psychological torture, funding nuclear doomsday devices with taxes and killing each other" thing, but that's a small price to pay for well-maintained roads.

Rediculous

This is rediculous. Who cares about how expensive your phone bill is when you have to use all the money you're saving to buy guns to protect your children?
