Telecommunications

Somalia actually has much better telecommunication services than its neighbours, despite (or perhaps due to) its lack of government. Somalia has some of the cheaper calling rates in the world with some companies charging less than a cent a minute. Some of the factors that have created this situation are lack of a government-granted monopoly and taxation, and the neutrality of telecommunication firms vis-a-vis the warlords http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4020259.stm.
