"New guidelines were adopted in frequency field with the consideration of decisions and recommendation of international organizations and experience of most countries of the world, from September 28, 2022, new tariff guidelines in the field of frequency was adopted, and tariffs are determined in accordance with these guidelines. The guidelines allow the use of upper frequency bands at lower tariffs, in the regions to use radio frequencies with a tariff of 25 percent, and in the liberated territories - 2.6 times lower," Rustamov said.

Thus, in accordance with the international approach, Azerbaijan ensured the transition from tariffs based on radio electronic means to tariffs based on frequencies," Rustamov added.
