Afghanistan's Ministry of Communications and Information Technology revealed that 26 out of 34 provinces in the country now have access to fibre optic services. Enayatullah Alokozay, the ministry's spokesperson, mentioned that seven regions are currently connected to fibre optic services through neighbouring countries. There is also interest from other nations to invest in Afghanistan's telecommunications sector.
The ministry is working to extend fibre optic services to provinces and their districts. The recent connection of Farah province demonstrates progress in this initiative.
The expansion of fibre optic services is expected to benefit Afghanistan's economy. Improved internet quality and speed can enhance business efficiency, especially in e-commerce. Economic analyst Shaker Yaqubi highlighted the importance of reducing internet prices to further boost the economy.
While acknowledging the progress, some citizens and analysts have called for continued efforts to reduce internet costs and improve its quality. Mohammad, a Kabul resident, emphasized focusing on these aspects for the population's benefit.
The expansion of fibre optic services not only improves internet access but also opens up opportunities for economic growth in Afghanistan. Continued investment in the telecommunications infrastructure is expected to bring further advancements and connectivity improvements.
