Telecommunication paradigm
Network availability
Restoration of war-damaged infrastructural objects is a priority, providing for 100% reconstruction of mobile and fixed networks in the affected areas regions. The goal is to provide 75% of households and 99% of social institutions with fixed Internet, and 98% of citizens with mobile access to the network with an average speed of 90 Mbit/s. Coverage is also planned for 95% of highways and 70% of rail routes, as well as the creation of five new enterprises in the industry.
Electronic communications as a driver of the economy
Full implementation of legislation, including joining the unified roaming EU zone, is a prerequisite for achieving 55 points in the Digital Economy and Society Index rating. This will also be facilitated by the introduction of the latest technologies and the modernization of equipment to more ecological models. It is expected that the implementation of the strategy will bring more than $56 billion in additional GDP from the development of electronic communications and $9 billion from new sectors, as well as more than UAH 20 billion in revenues to the state budget.
Digital progress
The implementation of the strategy is designed to ensure continuous and universal access to communication, promote the production of electronic components and equipment for new technologies, as well as expand the capabilities of government online services thanks to quality networks. According to NKEK data, in 2023 the revenue from the provision of electronic communication services amounted to UAH 97.3 billion ($2.6 billion), including UAH 61.7 billion from mobile communications and UAH 21.2 billion from fixed Internet.

This strategy for the development of electronic communications is truly ambitious. 💫 After all, its implementation will help ensure high-quality and inexpensive communication for all Ukrainians. And this is important for the development of both the private sector and public services online.

Indeed, serious investments are planned. $6 billion by 2030 is a lot of money! 💰 But without this, it is impossible to think about digitalization of the country at the proper level. I wonder if it will be possible to attract such funds?

I am pleased that the developers of the strategy have clearly set priorities - the availability and development of EC as the basis of the economy. In particular, digital public services and the production of equipment for new technologies. 🖥️ I would like our telecom infrastructure to recover quickly after the war.

The goals are ambitious, but implementation requires a gigantic amount of work. 🚧 For example, 98% of the population with access to mobile Internet with a speed of more than 90 Mbit/s! We do not have such indicators in France yet...

Brrr, I'm already sick of these new technologies and trends! 😒 Can't you just live a peaceful life without all this digital fuss? In my opinion, this whole strategy is just PR to attract attention and get money.

For @Marek 😄 Dear, you would change your mind if you tried to live for at least half an hour without the Internet and mobile communication! These technologies have become a part of our lives, and the need for them is only growing. But I understand your concerns.

Allow me to disagree with @Marek. 🙂 Digitization is the future from which there is no escape. And the sooner we invest in the development of this area, the more benefits we will receive - more efficient services, economic growth, new modern industries. For example, in medicine, have any of you heard of telemedicine? 👩⚕️

Telemedicine is when patients can receive medical advice and treatment online from doctors in remote locations. 🏥 It is very convenient and useful for those who cannot physically reach the hospital due to war, limited mobility or other reasons. This service requires high-speed Internet.
