Baku. Aynur Veliyeva - APA-Economics. Azerbaijan-based mobile operators charge more for internet than Internet service providers do, said the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies.
The ministry said mobile internet connection at the speed of 10 kbps costs 1 kopeck while the monthly cost of ADSL-Internet service at the speed of 1.5 Mbps on the 7 GB prepaid traffic is 30 manats, and the price for each additional 1 Mbps is just 1 kopecks.
For comparison, the use of mobile internet at the speed of 1 Mbitps is 9-21 manats in the manat equivalent.
Under Azeri legislation, the Ministry can not force private companies to reduce prices, but can only make recommendations.
Internet service providers cut broadband internet prices by threefold during in February-March on the ministry’s recomendations.
