 Turkmenistan - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Telecommunications services in Turkmenistan are the least developed of all the CIS countries. Poor growth in telecoms services, the slow progress in the development of the private sector and continuing state control over most economic activities has not helped the telecoms market. Combined fixed-line and mobile teledensity was estimated at 16% in late 2007, boosted by a more than doubling of mobile subscribers during 2006. The mobile market appears to have finally taken off. The Internet is controlled by the government and access severely restricted. However, there were signs that this might be changing; a string of Internet cafes had opened in Ashgabat. Regulatory reform is urgently needed. This report looks at the overall state of telecommunications in Turkmenistan together with some relevant statistical indicators, noting that up-to-date statistics are not readily available.
