| description |
Azerbaijan s development at the
beginning of the XXI century is characterized by the great
success story of its petroleum industry, which has propelled
Azerbaijan to the level of the most rapidly growing
economies in Europe and Central Asia. While oil and gas
reserves are finite and their extraction and transportation
is largely impacted by exogenous factors the Government of
Azerbaijan has recently focused its policies on economic
diversification, which, among others, prioritizes public
investment spending to boost the information and
communication technologies (ICT) sector. It is envisaged
that by 2020 Azerbaijan s ICT sector should become one of
the main contributors to the non-oil GDP and should
facilitate country s transition into the knowledge economy.
Telecommunications liberalization, modernization and
extension of the national telecom infrastructure,
implementation of e-government, and other sector-specific
policies have helped stimulate the growth of the local ICT
sector which since 2005 has been expanding at an average
rate of 25-30 percent. The telecom industry, especially its
mobile segment, has fueled the overall ICT sector
development. The number of Internet users has soared from
only 17 percent in 2008 to 73 percent in 2013. By 2014, the
wireless penetration per capita grew at over 100 percent,
around one third of the population gained mobile broadband
access, and 30 percent of Azerbaijan s households subscribed
to fixed (wired) broadband Internet. |
