Rapid development of Tajik Internet segment now causes obvious interest inside the country, as well as among business circles of foreign countries. Such growth is based on a few objective factors. First of all it is human resources. According to analysts’ estimations, Tajnet audience consists of 27-30 thousand people, while it is not limited only by Tajikistan, it is spread all around the world. The capacity of advertising market in the Internet-environment is appraised at one and a half – two thousand dollars per month (the calculations were held on the basis of 1-2 dollars per 1000 ad impressions). The number of Internet users in Tajikistan is growing fast, and in proportion to this the number of web sites is growing too.

 

The dynamics is displayed in figures. In 2005 about 1300 domains were registered, in 2006 this number had grown to 2000 domains. Of course, these rates can’t concur with worldwide monsters of Internet-industry that own considerable part of world Internet-resources. However, if to take into account that .TJ national zone became available for registration only in 2004, the results seem impressive.

 

Obviously the prospects of Internet-environment development have economic preconditions.

 

 

Tajikistan is extremely dynamic region of post-soviet space, whose economy is successfully developed in all spheres of business. The country has a population of 7,5 million of people, rich energy reserves, natural resources.

The country can be proud of the largest deposits of precious and nonferrous metals – gold, silver, copper, etc. Tajikistan has rich hydropower resources, being inferior only to Russia among CIS countries.

 

The interest to economy of Tajikistan from the side of foreign investors is very high and continues to grow. Active collaboration with the companies of Russia, China and other neighbouring countries of Central Asia and CIS is held on Tajik territory. For instance, by the end of 2006 investments into economy of Tajikistan from the side of China had exceeded 300 million dollars.

 

Tajikistan is actively developing all modern means of communications, paying much attention to mobile operators and Internet-technologies. Today the country has the widest mobile coverage among the countries of Central Asia. In 2005 Tajikistan became the first of CIS countries where 3G connection, the mobile communication of the third generation, appeared. Today this service is offered by all operators of the country. Foreign mobile operators, including Megafon, BeeLine and worldwide TeliaSonera Company under Tcell brand, are also popular.

 

Analytic researches have shown that country’s mobile communication integration is about 45 – 50 percent. All in all mobile operators have three and a half million of subscribers. GSM, UMTS (3G), CDMA standards are used in the country. One third of the market is owned by Russian mobile operators, the share of government property is insignificant.

 

All these and many other economic factors increase the investment attractiveness of Tajnet, especially of .TJ national zone.
