The figures are advanced by Vodafone, which ensured the presidency’s fixed and mobile communications during the period.
According to the same numbers, the operator installed 1300 fixed phones and made 500 phones available to the 55,000 participants involved in the event, which hosted 140 meetings in 10 different locations in the country.
