According to Potraz, the increase in internet and data subscriptions has been supported by the availability of internet, which is increasingly becoming more accessible in the country.
The sector is expected to grow exponentially with increased adoption of ICTs, operator investment and innovation efforts, as well as the Authority’s efforts to close the digital divide.
