Guinea

With support from USAID's Leland Initiative, a national Internet gateway was installed in Conakry allowing commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to be connected. Expansion of the Internet to three secondary cities was also conducted. Two private ISPs are providing full Internet services in Guinea: MiriNet and ETI-BULL.
