SECTOR 2 The media landscape, including new media, is characterised by diversity, independence and sustainability. 2.1 A wide range of sources of information (print, broadcasting, internet, mobile phones) is accessible and affordable to citizens. The distribution of written media is very poor, because having access to the newspaper in Mozambique, even in some of the provincial capitals, is still something of a luxury. And little is done in the sense of changing the scenario; for example, there is no legislation on postage paid, which is problematic. The situation with regard to electronic media (particularly television and the internet) is also not encouraging. In many parts of the country, there is still no electricity and, where it does exist, it is of very poor quality. Radio is thought to be in a better sitaution, since it is easy to listen to the radio with a device which works, for example, with batteries. This situation is futher improved by the extensive territorial coverage of Radio Mozambique, through its provincial broadcasts, in addition to Community and Commercial Radio, which are in operation in various parts of the Country. With regard to the Internet, generally it is still in a situation which is not the best, but over the last few years it has seemed to improve, particularly with the expansion of the fibre optic network and with the entry onto the market of the mobile phone network Movitel, which is investing in rural areas and with good quality network and competitive prices.
