3 Introduction
4 Introduction What? Study on digital connectivity and the potential for transitioning towards a digital economy in 10 countries: Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan Why? To identify main pain points throttling the Internet connectivity in the target countries and to propose policy options for creating an enabling Internet ecosystem in the region How? Using secondary research on infrastructure development, Internet access, usage and the policy environment, including an analysis of the barriers and constraints, and including a set of policy recommendations 4

30 Our questions 1. Prices, prices, prices: from IP transit pricing (for AF, AM and GE), whole sale prices of global bandwidth and local access prices (or prices paid by carriers for Ethernet and leased line local access circuits). 2. # of international cables, international gateways, IXPs and ISPs 3. Licensing schemes and other regulations that govern the deployment and maintenance of the terrestrial fiber optic lines and satellite stations 4. Internet usage by individuals, businesses and government that illustrate latent demand/trajectory (e.g. social media, e-commerce) 5. Interoperability and interconnectivity of key networks (e.g. mobile, payments, banking and government) 30
