			Since the mid-2010s, mobile communication in Kyrgyzstan has experienced accelerated growth, driven by the introduction of the [[4G]] [[LTE (telecommunication)\|LTE]] standard. Mobile network operators have actively expanded coverage, including in remote and hard-to-reach areas, despite the country's mountainous terrain.

			Since the early 2020s, Kyrgyzstan has seen rapid development in the internet sector, accompanied by the expansion of communication channels and modernization of infrastructure. Most internet providers have moved away from data-capped plans, offering users unlimited internet access. In some cases, connection speeds reach up to 1 Gbps. Since 2020, large-scale deployment of fiber-optic lines has been underway across the country, covering both urban areas and remote settlements, contributing to the expansion of high-speed internet coverage nationwide.
