UA program ‐ Main issues

Inadequate access totelecom and IT servicesinrural Mongolia

• 90% of subscribers in UB, aimag centers and larger soums;

• Less than 30% soumcenters had an adequate access;

• Most of soums have no Internet;

• Travel of 30‐40 kms to make a call



A study of Pilot project confirmed that significant demand of telecom and IT services in rural Mongolia

• at least 8 calls per month if facilities were available closer;

• 5% of household income on telecom

High cost of service provision and challenges of attracting private investments in rural Mongolia

• Country’s vast and challenginggeography;

• Control of long‐distance backbone services;

• Private operators are not mandated to provide rural services

• Unwillingness of private operators to enter unviablrural areas
