Wi-Fi, Wires & the Sky: The Full Picture of Internet Access in Bangladesh

Wi-Fi, Wires & the Sky: The Full Picture of Internet Access in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has experienced a rapid expansion of internet access over the past decade. As of December 2023, the country had about 131 million internet subscriptions, up by 7 million in that year alone wicinternet.org. The vast majority are mobile internet users, while roughly 12.9 million are fixed broadband subscribers wicinternet.org. This means most people get online via mobile networks, with far fewer using home or fixed connections. In terms of population reach, an estimated 77–78 million individuals were using the internet by early 2025 datareportal.com. This penetration rate reflects significant growth, yet still leaves more than half of Bangladeshis offline. The growth trend is positive – for context, internet users doubled from 54 million in 2015 to over 108 million in 2020 thefinancialexpress.com.bd – but achieving universal access remains a work in progress.

State of Internet Access in Azerbaijan: From Fiber to the Final Frontier

State of Internet Access in Azerbaijan: From Fiber to the Final Frontier

Azerbaijan connected to the global internet relatively early in the post-Soviet era, with the first internet connection established in 1994 and public access becoming available by 1996 az-netwatch.org. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, internet services were initially limited and expensive, dominated by dial-up connections and a handful of state-affiliated providers. However, Azerbaijan benefited from a legacy of Soviet-era technical institutes and government awareness of ICT’s importance, which helped jump-start development en.wikipedia.org. Throughout the 2000s, the number of internet users grew steadily – rising to an estimated 3.7 million users by 2010 according to ITU data en.wikipedia.org. Early access was centered in Baku and major cities, with many users relying on shared facilities like workplaces or internet cafés, since home computer ownership was low in the 2000s en.wikipedia.org. Dial-up remained the primary access mode for many until broadband services began to spread in the late 2000s en.wikipedia.org. Recognizing the economic importance of connectivity, the government made telecom and internet development a national priority, implementing policies in the late 2000s to reduce internet costs az-netwatch.org and eliminating ISP licensing requirements by 2002 to liberalize the market en.wikipedia.org.

State of Internet Access in Armenia: From Fiber to the Final Frontier

State of Internet Access in Armenia: From Fiber to the Final Frontier

Armenia’s journey to modern internet connectivity began in the 1990s with a single dominant telecom operator. After independence in 1991, the national operator ArmenTel held a legal monopoly over telephony and internet services. This monopoly, granted in 1998, hindered early internet growth, as competitors were barred and infrastructure investments lagged hetq.am azatutyun.am. By the mid-2000s, however, reforms were underway. ArmenTel’s exclusive rights were effectively ended around 2005–2007, opening the market to new internet service providers and mobile operators azatutyun.am. The sector “saw rapid growth” once the monopoly was broken, with new players spurring competition and network expansion azatutyun.am.

State of Internet Access in Angola: From Urban Hubs to Satellite Lifelines

State of Internet Access in Angola: From Urban Hubs to Satellite Lifelines

Angola has made significant strides in expanding internet access over the past decade, yet connectivity remains very uneven between its urban hubs and rural hinterlands. With a population of about 37 million datareportal.com – most of them young and over two-thirds living in cities datareportal.com – Angola’s digital landscape is growing rapidly. As of early 2025, roughly 17.2 million Angolans were internet users, representing an internet penetration rate of 44.8% datareportal.com. This is a marked increase from just 32.6% in 2023 satelliteprome.com, reflecting steady growth. However, it also means more than half the population remains offline. For context, Africa’s overall internet usage was only 38% in 2024, far below the global average of 68% techafricanews.com. While Angola now slightly exceeds the continental average, it lags behind Africa’s leading nations – for example, Morocco boasts over 92% penetration as of 2025 statista.com. Bridging this gap will require addressing economic, infrastructural, and policy challenges that have left rural areas and marginalized communities with limited access.
