BEST PRACTICES IN DIVERSIFYING TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES IN COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD

Abstract

In the last decade, the diversification of communication services has become not only a technological advantage for the world's advanced economies, but also a means of ensuring economic stability and social equality. Through digital transformation, the integration of mobile communications, artificial intelligence and broadband Internet services, countries such as the United States, South Korea, Estonia, Singapore and China have managed to actively involve all segments of the population in the digital economy. For example, in South Korea, cross-sector services have been developed within the framework of the “Digital New Deal” program, and their level of inclusion has been increased by 27 percent. In this regard, Uzbekistan has also identified the expansion of economic opportunities through the modernization of communication services and their equitable territorial distribution as one of the priority areas in its “Development Strategy until 2030”. Because diversification in communication services is not only new technologies, but also a strong infrastructure that ensures equal access to education, healthcare and financial services for every citizen. In line with Uzbekistan's "digital prosperity" principle, learning from global experiences can become a tool for economic transformation, especially for remote regions.
