Kabul – The country faces recent internet restrictions imposed by the Afghan government, while companies from Pakistan, with PTCL at the forefront, are emerging as key investors in Afghanistan’s optical fibre network.
The investment from Pakistani firms, particularly PTCL, is a significant step towards rebuilding Afghanistan’s telecommunications backbone.
These companies are actively involved in providing fibre optic provisions that are critical for enhancing connectivity and supporting the country’s economic development.
This forward momentum in infrastructure development is overshadowed by a recent decision by the Afghan government to ban the use of internet services in certain areas.
While the specific reasons for the ban remain under scrutiny, such actions raise concerns about digital freedom and their impact on daily life for the Afghan population.
The ban affects not only social communication but also business operations and access to information, creating a challenging environment for a country attempting to build a stable and open economy.
