AP: Mobile phone link now working on both sides of split island of Cyprus

AP reports from Nicosia that the United Nations has lauded the news that mobile phone coverage has been extended to both sides of the divide on the east Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus.

That means Turkish Cypriots living in the breakaway north, as well as Greek Cypriots living in the internationally recognized south, can use their mobile devices on either side for the first time.
