The number of internet and mobile phone subscriptions in Georgia continues to grow, but high prices for services, inadequate infrastructure, and slow internet speeds remain obstacles, says Freedom House, a US-based independent watchdog that conducts research and advocacy on democracy, political freedom, and human rights.
Internet has been made available in the Georgian mountainous region of Pshav-Khevsureti and the ravine of Gudamakari.
Consumption of fixed internet doubled in the last six years and amounted to 914,000 households in the first quarter of 2020 which is 82 per cent of households in Georgia.
