ICT Infrastructure Growth to Uplift Quality of Rural Life

Over 90% of rural areas in the western province of Hamedan will be linked to high-speed mobile internet by early May, according to Information and Communications Technologies Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi.
During a visit to survey ICT projects underway in the province on Saturday, Jahromi said cable internet connectivity is available in the district and mobile internet coverage will be extended to almost all villages in the coming months, the ICT Ministry’s website reported.
Of the total 1.75 million people living in the province, more than 98,000 live in 1,067 villages, according to Hamedan’s Governorate.
“Hamedan is a tourist destination, but local ADSL links are unavailable to visitors. As a result, it is critical to continue to improve mobile communications,” he added.
The minister added that 108 mobile network stations will be established in the province to improve mobile subscribers' network and internet connectivity.
