Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 19
By Huseyn Valiyev – Trend:
Delta Telecom and Azertelecom, Azerbaijan’s major communication operators, have connected to the local network of the country’s e-government, a source close to the project told Trend.
The e-government intranet network was created to optimize the use of local Internet traffic and ensure high-quality access of users to the e-services portal (https://www.e-gov.az/en).
Connection of Internet providers to the e-government local intranet is carried out on a voluntary basis. Providers of Internet services in Azerbaijan are indirectly connected to the intranet, since many of them are clients of Delta Telecom and Azertelecom, which have already connected to the local intranet of the country’s e-government.
“The advantage of the local intranet of Azerbaijan’s e-government is that all transactions regarding e-services, utility payment and others are executed even if Internet access is not available,” the source said.
