This was announced by Minister of Communications and Informatisation Sergei Popkov in yesterday’s interview to Panorama. He also pointed out that commercial television is actively developing in the country. As for the internal use of communications services, Belarus occupies a leading position in the world in terms of fixed telephone line density per 100 inhabitants. The density of Internet technologies in Belarus is in line with average European figures.

Currently, Minsk is hosting the International Forum on Telecommunications, Information and Banking Technologies TIBO 2015. Today’s agenda includes the Belarusian Congress on Information Society Technologies and the National Internet Resources Competition. During a Belarusian-Korean forum, industry-specific ministries are expected to sign a cooperation agreement for three years.
