Posted by meb at April 22nd, 2008
The number of Internet subscribers in Turkey has surpassed 5 million, according to Türk Telekom, Turkey’s largest provider of national and long-distance telecommunication services.
A written statement from Türk Telekom yesterday said the increase in the number of broadband subscribers was due to the investments by Türk Telekom in communications infrastructure around the country.
Türk Telekom also cited information from London-based research firm Point Topic’s “World Broadband Statistics Q4 2007,” which covers the last quarter of 2007; the report notes that Turkey had the fastest growth in broadband subscribers in Europe among countries with more than a million subscribers.
Paul Doany, Türk Telekom’s general manager and head of the board of directors, said the company aims at increasing Internet usage both in cities and rural areas in Turkey. He noted that they are working toward this goal with broadband investment projects, discounts on wholesale prices for Internet providers and education projects.
