Georgia is embracing a $150 million USD project that will make internet available for all Georgian regions and villages.
The project, financed by Georgia’s former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili, has been launched by the Ministry of Economy of Georgia.
The first stage of the project will create a reliable internet connection for 500 villages in 10 different Georgian regions. These areas are: Adjara, Guria, Imereti, Racha-Lechkhumi, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti in west Georgia and Kvemo Kartli, Mtskheta Mtianeti, Kakheti and Shida Kartli.
When fully implemented, internet will be available in 2,000 Georgian villages, meaning 91 percent of the population will have internet access.
