Communication
Communication
in and around the 10 southern Sudan states is of great
variance.
Juba - capital of Central
Equatoria State and seat of the Government of Southern
Sudan (GOSS) - boasts a range of mobile phone service
providers. They include the popular Gemtel, Mobitel and
Sudatel.
However, the use of
satellite phone services of Thuraya is far more extensive.
It has a wider reach within the South due to satellite
technology and is handy in many areas where there is no
telecommunication set up.
Fixed lines are at present
still considered a rarity in many areas.
