Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 301 / 356<br />

Sierra Leone general assessment: marginal telephone and telegraph service<br />

domestic: the national microwave radio relay trunk system connects Freetown to<br />

Bo and Kenema<br />

international: country code - 232; satellite earth station - 1 Intelsat (Atlantic Ocean)<br />

Somalia general assessment: the public telecommunications system was almost completely<br />

destroyed or dismantled by the civil war factions; private wireless companies offer<br />

service in most major cities and charge the lowest international rates on the<br />

continent<br />

domestic: local cellular telephone systems have been established in Mogadishu<br />

and in several other population centers<br />

international: country code - 252; international connections are available from<br />

Mogadishu by satellite<br />

South Africa general assessment: the system is the best developed and most modern in Africa<br />

domestic: consists of carrier-equipped open-wire lines, coaxial cables, microwave<br />

radio relay links, fiber-optic cable, radiotelephone communication stations, and<br />

wireless local loops; key centers are Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban,<br />

Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, and Pretoria<br />

international: country code - 27; 2 submarine cables; satellite earth stations - 3<br />

Intelsat (1 Indian Ocean and 2 Atlantic Ocean)<br />

Sudan general assessment: generally adequate, modern facilities; teledensity is 45 main<br />

lines for each 100 persons<br />

domestic: NA<br />

international: country code - 34; 22 coaxial submarine cables; satellite earth<br />

stations - 2 Intelsat (1 Atlantic Ocean and 1 Indian Ocean), NA Eutelsat;<br />

tropospheric scatter to adjacent countries<br />

Swaziland general assessment: a somewhat modern but not an advanced system<br />

domestic: system consists of carrier-equipped, open-wire lines and low-capacity,<br />

microwave radio relay<br />

international: country code - 268; satellite earth station - 1 Intelsat (Atlantic Ocean)<br />

Tanzania general assessment: fair system operating below capacity and being modernized<br />

for better service; small aperture terminal (VSAT) system under construction<br />

domestic: trunk service provided by open-wire, microwave radio relay, tropospheric<br />

scatter, and fiber-optic cable; some links being made digital<br />

international: country code - 255; satellite earth stations - 2 Intelsat (1 Indian<br />

Ocean, 1 Atlantic Ocean)<br />

Togo general assessment: fair system based on a network of microwave radio relay<br />

routes supplemented by open-wire lines and a mobile cellular system<br />

domestic: microwave radio relay and open-wire lines for conventional system<br />

international: country code - 228; satellite earth stations - 1 Intelsat (Atlantic
