[UgaBYTES] Telecommunication companies in Sudan competes for better services to community

[gkwagner at via.at]

Dear Paul,

free wifi connection is also provided by the
airport of Vienna (which is even rare in Europe,
since most still charge you).

That is - inter alia -one of
the reasons why our airport is popular. Not only
for the direct-flights to all cities in Eastern Europe.

kind regards from Vienna,


Gerhard
