Direct microwave links connect all regional cities, and a number of smaller towns have automatic telephone services. International communication links are maintained through two satellite earth stations, providing telephone, telex, fax and television services. Microwave links exist with Kenya, Djibouti and Eritrea. This sector is scheduled to undergo privatization in the near future. This should be helpful in terms of securing foreign investment.
