- in the "Rating for the Development of Telecommunication Infrastructure 2018" –114 place
among 193 countries (this indicator took into account the presence of the following main components:
fixed-line telephony subscribers per 100 residents - 10.85, mobile subscribers per 100 residents -
73.98, percentage of Internet users - 46.79, subscribers of the wired Internet access service for 100
residents - 8.73, subscribers of the wireless mobile Internet access service for 100 residents - 53.47).
- in the “Ranking of countries by Internet speed” for 2019 - 129th place among 137 countries;
- in the “Global Cybersecurity Index” of the International Telecommunication Union - the
republic rose to 41st position and took 52nd place, thereby standing on a par with the leaders of the
CIS countries to strengthen cybersecurity;
- in the "Rating on the cheapness of mobile Internet" - 69th place among 230 countries.
Nevertheless, the measures taken in the direction of digitalization of the economy of our
republic are insufficient, as evidenced by low rates in some ratings and studies.
Based on the goals of the country's long-term development, the priority tasks for the
development of digital infrastructure are:
a) expanding the telecommunications network, as well as stimulating the use of innovative access
technologies using current infrastructure;
b) the creation of additional mechanisms to stimulate investment activity of mobile and satellite
communications operators to expand access in the regions of the republic by studying the existing
barriers to the development of the industry;
c) stimulating the creation of narrow-band communication networks for the collection and processing
of information for the effective development of the Internet of Things technology by providing a
common approach to implementation, development of unified data transfer protocols and rules for
their management;
d) using the cloud-based approach to digitalize the branches of public administration and build
complex systems by transferring the public administration apparatus to the service model of
consuming data from services and data center services, which will increase the stability of the
functioning of information systems, the security of information contained in information resources
and reduce development costs and infrastructure upgrades;
e) updating the state policy in the field of providing free market competition, ensuring transparency
of access conditions in the development of digital infrastructure by reducing the degree of its presence
in economic sectors, with an emphasis on guaranteeing consumers the right to choose at lower prices
and high quality new services, access to the Internet, broadcasting services, as well as processing,
storage and transmission of data;
f) ensuring the stability of communication networks for the continuous operation of digital devices
through the application of innovative technologies in business models and the public sector;
g) the consistent implementation of the Smart and Safe Cities projects in order to solve problems
related to transport logistics, technical and social urban infrastructure, the quality of the urban
environment, and the effective management of the development of the city, public, business and
residential space by introducing digital technologies into management city infrastructure.
