TASHKENT, June 8 Asia Pulse - Afghanistan has connected through a fibre optic network to Tajikistan, the Afghan Communications and Information Technology Ministry said on Thursday.

Communications and Information Technology minister Amirzai Sangin said they were going to connect the network to Iran, Pakistan and Turkmenistan in the near future.

There would be an 80 per cent drop in prices for internet services in Afghanistan once the network was fully established.

During a video conference with his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rahmon, Afghan President Hamed Karzai said that the launch of the network was a huge step towards developing the economy of both countries.

"Here in Afghanistan, we are also happy to inaugurate the optic fibre network between our countries after several years of hard work. This network will markedly improve and make easier communications, transactions, business and contacts between the people of the two countries as well as the people in the region,"said ...
