Telecommunications
The extension and upgrading of the telephone
exchanges during the last years led to an increase in
the number of landline telephone users. In 2001, the
number of private telephone users in Sibiu was 356.6
per 1000 inhabitants.
A fast modernisation process marks the field of
telecommunication (digital telephone exchanges), due
to the expansion of high technology in wireless
telephone services and the increasing coverage in
mobile telephone services. The advancement of this
sector will continue, with the assembly of optical
cables, the extension of digital networks, and the fast
development of mobile telephone services and e-mail.
At present, the Internet services market has reached
maturation, but the fees are still high (1.6-2 times
greater than in EU member countries), and the access
costs from the place of residence are very high.

preserved medieval architecture, with an area of 101
ha. The great majority of buildings are in a mediocre
state of preservation, and are in need of consolidation
and restoration work. Beginning with 2000, this task
was taken over by The Historical Town Rehabilitation
Project, supported by Sibiu City Hall and the German
State Agency Gesellschaft fűr Technische
Zusammenarbeit (GTZ).
