Talk:Communications in Colombia

Broadband Internet Access
Frankly the note that says only towns with 100,000 or more people have DSL access is fiction. Right now in fact I'm using a dsl connection to write this from Leticia. it must be noted that Telefonica/Telecom S.A. has been adamant about expanding DSL access to all the capitals in Colombia if not all the cities they have headquarters and sattelite systems in. user:electronicmaji

this was in fact added by me I had forgetten to log in user:electronicmaji<--!>

Address section
This section has various factual inaccuracies and should probably just get scrapped. Beyond that, I fail to see what it has to do with communications in Colombia. Unless this gets fixed, I'm just going to cut it all in a week or so. Hwonder  talk   contribs  01:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Quote "Since accuracy is the focus of the design of the addresses, numbers do not alternate on opposite sides of the street. Instead, numbers go meter-for-meter, and where one door is across from the other, a measurement can be taken, or, the neighbours can come to an agreement where one house is one "meter" behind the other. A further course of action would simply to add, "A" to the number, such as "N° 43-5A"."

This is not true, at least not for cities like Medellin, where numbers DO alternate on opposite sides of the street. Letters on adresses are commonly used for calles and carreras, but very uncommonly for house numbers.
