A:There is a single government-owned radio network, a growing number of private radio stations, and one government TV station. The fixed telephone system, with just 18,000 lines, serves the few inhabitants who used landlines in 2012, but the wireless communications systems remain inadequate. The mobile cellular system is growing rapidly and had an estimated 4.8 million lines in 2012. Internet usage is very low, reaching just 1.5% of the population in 2012. B:Would a futurist be apt to praise this society, noting that residents have set aside an old-fashioned, if viable, communications system in favor of modern wireless communications solely by choice? Answer: hong
A:Medical societies issue guidelines for when physicians should use MRI on patients and recommend against overuse. MRI can detect health problems or confirm a diagnosis, but medical societies often recommend that MRI not be the first procedure for creating a plan to diagnose or manage a patient's complaint. A common case is to use MRI to seek a cause of low back pain; the American College of Physicians, for example, is unlikely to recommend against this procedure as it often results in a positive outcome for the patient. B:If you get an MRI in order to figure out the reason for your low back pain and you experience a positive outcome, is this in contradiction to what the American College of Physicians thinks will happen?

The fixed telephone system remains in place, though just 18,000 inhabitants actually use the landlines in 2012, when the bulk of the nation's 10.5 million inhabitants transitioning to wireless networks.

B:If an economist had only read that short sentence about the telephone network and thus knew nothing else about this country (not even its name or location), would he be more likely to guess that this is a country like Sweden where mobile phones were established due to the astonishingly high costs of the otherwise world-class telephone system (made justifiably famous in the opening credits to Monty Python and the Holy Grail) rather than a country in Africa, where residents were practically forced to leapfrog over woeful utility service and into the modern cellular era. Answer: hong
A:There is a single government-owned radio network, a growing number of private radio stations, and one government TV station. With just 18,000 fixed telephone lines, the system is woefully insufficient to serve the country's population, which stood at 10.5 million in 2012. The mobile cellular system is growing rapidly and had an estimated 4.8 ;million lines in 2012. Internet usage is very low, reaching just 1.5% of the population in 2012.
