for fixed-lines until 2005; demand outstripped

the first private licensed operator in Angola's
fixed-line telephone network; Angola Telecom
established mobile-cellular service in Luanda in
1993 and the network has been extended to larger
towns; a privately-owned, mobile-cellular service
provider began operations in 2001
