    Uzbekistan emerges as Central Asia's top contender in mobile internet affordability

    Uzbekistan emerges as Central Asia's top contender in mobile internet affordability

    Uzbekistan has secured the top spot in Central Asia for mobile internet affordability, Sherzod Shermatov, the Minister of Digital Technologies of Uzbekistan shared on LinkedIn. The country, known for its burgeoning digital landscape, has clinched the 43rd position globally out of 179 countries in a ranking that assesses the proportion of communication expenses relative to the average salary.

    In Uzbekistan, where the average monthly salary amounts to $364.21, residents spend merely $4.36, which constitutes only 1.20% of their income, to acquire 10 GB of mobile internet. This figure underscores the country's commitment to ensuring accessible digital connectivity for its populace.

    Comparatively, neighboring countries in Central Asia exhibit different dynamics. Kazakhstan, with an average salary of $583.60, sees its residents allocating $9.79, or 1.68% of their earnings, for a mobile data package. Kyrgyzstan follows suit, ranking 90th globally, where citizens spend $7.61, equivalent to 2.43% of their income. Meanwhile, Tajikistan trails behind, ranking 163rd, with mobile data costing $13.77, which amounts to 8.09% of the average salary.

    Mobile data has become indispensable globally, facilitating connectivity for various purposes ranging from education to employment and healthcare. It serves as a lifeline, particularly in regions where fixed-line connection infrastructure is limited, ensuring that individuals can stay connected and access essential services seamlessly.

    Despite regional variations, global trends indicate that people typically spend approximately 4.09% of their salary on a mobile phone plan with 10GB or more of data. European and Asian countries dominate the top positions in terms of mobile internet affordability, attributed to higher wages and reasonable tariff prices.

    Mobile data enables internet connectivity on your device regardless of location, provided there's a mobile internet connection like 4G. While many nations primarily utilize mobile data for tasks like emails, social media, messaging, or VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, this isn't universal. In regions with constrained fixed-line connection infrastructure, mobile data becomes the primary mode of internet access, crucial for employers, education, and healthcare services.
