MALAWI GETS PHONES

THE Malawi Posts and Telecommunications Corporation has embarked on a $58-million project to improve the country’s telephone network to cope with the growing number of users. The new project will see nearly 44000 connected. Commissioning of the digital telephone services will begin during the month of September. Under the project, the corporation will also replace analogue exchanges with new and modern digital equipment so that users have an opportunity for new telephones numbers.
