Lesotho’s telecommunications network has grown significantly in recent years; however, market penetration is still below the African average. Econet Telecom Lesotho is the only fixed network operator. Econet also provides mobile network services, along with Vodacom Lesotho (VCL). Dial-up is still the most common mode of internet access; however, VCL and Econet also have wireless broadband technology (3G and EVDO respectively).
 
Lesotho’s telecommunication costs rank among the highest in the world.
