Telecommunications in Guinea-Bissau include radio, television, fixed and mobile telephones, and the Internet. Guinea-Bissau is one of the poorest countries in the world.〔 This reality is reflected in the state of the country's telecommunications development. It is estimated that in 2012 there were only 5000 fixed telephone lines serving the country's 1.6 million inhabitants and that only 2.9% of the population had access to and were regular users of the Internet. ==Radio and television== * Radio stations: * * 1 state-owned radio station, several private radio stations, and some community radio stations; multiple international broadcasters are available (2007);〔("Communications: Guinea-Bissau" ), ''World Factbook'', U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 28 January 2014. Retrieved 3 February 2014.〕 * * 1 AM, 4 FM, and no shortwave (2001). * Radios: 49,000 (1997). * Television stations: One state-owned TV station and a second station, Radio e Televisao de Portugal África (RTP África), operated by Portuguese public broadcaster (RTP) (2007).〔 Private radio stations operate alongside the state-run broadcaster. Broadcasters face many challenges, not least the lack of a reliable power supply. The media experience "harsh treatment" from the authorities, security forces, and individuals with connections to the military and drug traffickers. A climate of fear has led to self-censorship among the media, which particularly affects reporting on drug trafficking.〔("Guinea-Bissau profile: Media" ), ''BBC News'', 14 March 2012. Retrieved 3 February 2014.〕 Following the 12 April 2012 coup, the junta shut down all private radio stations and the national television station. They allowed only the national broadcaster, Radio Nacional da Guine-Bissau, to broadcast intermittent military communiqués. On 15 April, the junta allowed the stations to reopen, but on 16 April warned them not to criticize the military or the coup or report on protests. These threats continued until 25 May when the civilian government was installed.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Telecommunications in Guinea-Bissau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
