Communication Matters
Telephone and Internet for Everyone
I would guess the first question to be answered is "why it is so difficult to get a normal telephone line in your house or office?"
Well, here are some reasons (there are others) : 1. The telephone network here in Malaga was designed many years ago. It was sized to cope with the population demands of the time with spare capacity to grow at normal rates. What happened was 3 million foreign people and a few 1,000 new companies came to Malaga and all wanted a telephone line.
2. The terrain and the constant construction is also a major issue. Telefonica would have to spend millions in road digging, laying cables and would have to drill through some very big mountains (for inland) to install new cables to deliver the connectivity to all the houses. Without a "return on investment" this is not a viable option for any company.
3. The majority of people that have houses here in Malaga do not live here full time, Telefonica could never expect to make a "return on the investment" - if you are not here you do not use the telephone, which means they make no profit (simple economics). |

The Costa Del Sol is comprised of approximately 300kms of the Spanish Mediterranean coast belonging to the Provinces of Granada, Malaga and Cadiz. Recently, the Granada Province coastline was redesignated as the 'Costa Tropical.' It is protected from the northern winds by a mountain chain which, in parts reaches down to the coast forming spectacular cliffs. |
