Shafaq News/ The Iraqi Minister of Communications, Hiyam Al-Yasiri, announced on Sunday that the Wi-Fi service (towers) will gradually end, and the transition to FTTH service will be imminent.
Al-Yasiri said, during the Iraqi Telecommunications Summit, which was attended by Shafaq News Agency, that “in the coming days, the Ministry will implement a deliberate, scheduled plan that includes gradually turning off the service using Wi-Fi technology (towers) and moving to the FTTH service in many areas of Baghdad and the governorates that have been completed.” It includes the establishment of two FTTH fiber optic networks.
The Minister called on citizens to go to “subscribe to optical cable services because they provide fast service with superior quality at subsidized prices, and to abandon subscription to Wi-Fi services because they provide weak and slow Internet service.”
The Minister of Communications continued: “The fruits of our work will bear fruit in the coming weeks and months, and some of them we have reaped results, and at the forefront of this major work is the national license for mobile phones with fifth generation technology,” adding: “We will soon announce the name of the operator that will enter Iraq to operate the fifth generation license.”
Al-Yasiri indicated that “the negotiations are positive with the operator,” adding, “We are proceeding at an accelerated pace, and the nature of these procedures is that they do not present their details to public opinion, and their results will be presented in the near future.”
The Minister of Transport and Communications in the Kurdistan Region, Ano Johar Abdoka, announced on Sunday morning that Internet service would be delivered via the optical cable project to 400,000 homes in the region.
