Sudanese broadcasting is highly restricted and state TV and radio reflect government policy. The private press carries opposition views, but the state uses its powers to influence what is published. Sudan had 9.3 million internet users by July 2014, with blogging being subject to scrutiny.
1 The price of copper has increased dramatically in recent years, and re-plumbing a house with copper can cost $2,500-$15,000 or more. 2  For example, Pete Rodriguez of Atlantic Re-Plumbing says a 2-1/2-bathroom house that costs $3,700 to re-plumb with CPVC would start at $4,500 in copper, and could cost more.
1 Average total cost (materials and labor) for rewiring a house starts around $3,500-$8,000 for a moderate-sized home with easy access (at least 18-inches of crawlspace under the home plus an accessible attic) but can run $8,500-$20,000 or even as high as $30,000 for a large house and/or one with difficult access. Copper wire is increasingly expensive, so just the materials alone for rewiring a typical home can start around $400-$1,000 and might run $1,500-$3,000 or more for an extensive upgrade (lots of outlets, light fixtures) in a larger home.
