open-in-new
<p> Telecommunications in Angola include <a href="/facts/Telephone/P7uEgWQX">telephone</a>, <a href="/facts/Radio/XFr909M2">radio</a>, <a href="/facts/Television/X4YG5nT1">television</a>, and the <a href="/facts/Internet/Xw1rVvJU">Internet</a>. The government controls all broadcast media with a nationwide reach. </p><p>In 2001, toward the end of <a href="/facts/Angolan_Civil_War/TgKbf3dm">Angolan Civil War</a>, the government began adopting regulations to liberalize the telecom industry. This enabled private investments to revitalize the country's telecommunications infrastructure which had been severely damaged by the decades-long conflict. By 2012, Angola had one of the largest mobile telecom markets in sub-Saharan Africa and Internet access was growing steadily. The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (MCT) oversees the telecommunications sector which is regulated by the Angolan National Institute of Telecommunication (INACOM). </p>
