(COMMENT:I created this list mostly because of my own curiousity about
foreign telecommunications, but also because I discovered in my own
curiousity that there is not much information on the subject and the
need for it was in demand.  This is my first time publicly posting the
list, so any comments or criticism is appreciated.  Hope some people
find this useful or interesting:)

Foreign Telecommunications Carriers
Brisk Attivo (brisk@netins.net)
October 20th, 2003

This list is meant to be a reference for the current telecomm-
unications carriers for all foreign countries.  The countries selected
for this list have been chosen because they are recognized by the CIA
World Factbook.  The telecommunications carriers selected have been
chosen because they are the most economically dominant in their
associated countries, or because they are state-owned, government-
owned, public operators of telecommunications.  Information on the
telecommunications of some countries -- such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and
North Korea -- is limited due to their political instability.  Most of
this information was found due to help from publications by the FCC
(Federal Communications Commission), CIA (Central Intelligence
Agency), ITU (International Telecomunications Commission), and Google.
