Internet coverage almost complete in Azerbaijan

The level of Internet coverage in Azerbaijan has exceeded 60 per cent, Deputy Communications and IT Minister Iltimas Mammadov told the media.

He said that at present, about 50 per cent of users are provided with broadband Internet. This figure will increase by 30 per cent by the end of the year.

This will be possible thanks to the widespread introduction of NGN, 3G technologies. It is planned to cover the Baku territory with fibre-optic lines by the end of 2013 within the development of broadband Internet and all regions in 2015.
