In Kazakhstan, in 2027, over 2.3 million rural residents will be able to connect to high-speed communication

The strategy to support small and medium-sized telecommunications operators will enable high-speed internet to reach 400,000 households and significantly improve citizens' access to digital technologies.

As part of the implementation of the National Project "Accessible Internet," the Ministry has planned measures to amend existing legislation and financial mechanisms: creating conditions for laying networks along utility poles in remote and sparsely populated villages, which will accelerate their connection to the internet and provide subsidies to small and medium-sized telecommunications operators to expand and improve internet services in remote rural areas.

The main goal is to develop a robust telecommunications infrastructure in villages by 2027, helping to reduce the digital divide between urban and rural areas. Upon completion of the project in 2027, at least 2.3 million rural residents will have the opportunity to connect to high-speed communication infrastructure with an internet access speed of 100 Mbps.
