Goa
being a relatively small state, communication is not a major issue. Most
of the major cities and tourism hubs are well connected by different
modes of communication. Even though the landline telephone network and
the postal system are bedrock of the communication infrastructure, new
age means of communication like internet and cell phones are rapidly
gaining ground.
The ubiquitous Public Telephone Booths or PCOs are the favorite means
of communication for majority of the tourists. One can avail of local
and STD/ISD call facilities at these PCOs spread across the length and
breadth of the state. Mobile phone penetration is also quite high and a
number of cellular operators provide services in Goa.
Internet cafes have come up in most of the major cities and tourist
destinations in Goa. Foreign tourists are usually seen thronging these
cyber cafes for internet browsing.
