 We're here at ITU Telecom World 2014 in Doha in the state of Qatar and I'm very pleased to be joined by Ali Abbasov, Dr Ali Abbasov who is Minister for the Ministry of Communications and High Technologies for Azerbaijan. Minister, thank you very much for being with us today. I wanted to start off by asking you about the central theme here at ITU Telecom World 2014. What developments in technology, policy or business do you see as key to the near future? Yes, the main topic of our discussions in ITU Telecom is the broadband policy and the main target is to bring broadband to all and our slogan is the broadband for all. And as a policymaker, we are working with the international communities and with my colleagues about how to get to develop, to promote, to develop the new technologies and how fast these technologies could be brought to all citizens. And here some new technologies are being discussed between vendors and operators and 5G, 5G Home, they have vendors but manufacturers, they have their proposal, their technology inventions but the problem is together, together with governments, together with operators to boost this process and to bring this technology to the everywhere and mostly it is important to bring this technology to the rural places. I was going to ask you, how do you see the best way to make broadband universal? Yes, as a policymaker I see mostly it depends on the policymakers. We have three points of our policymaker. Firstly, as usually the first government has to promote increasing the demand for the broadband. In Azerbaijan we have a special ICT strategy which aims by 2017 to bring the broadband to all and to reach the penetration about 80% of the broadband penetration with high speed internet. And we are increasing demand, expanding the new contents which is needed for the citizens. It is the smart applications, educational, healthcare system, e-commerce, e-trading to expand the delivery of the public electronic services to citizens and the people everywhere, mostly low educated people have to understand why they do need broadband and so the content is most important. Secondly, the government has to promote and to help in the financial services and in the creation of a good business environment for it. But in Azerbaijan we have special policy rules which give the concessions in tax policy and customs and the other source of the promotion is to improve the access of the operators, of access of all players to the concessional financial resources of the Wadah. And third one is the regulations. And we make soft regulations rules for Wadah. Not for example, but to have in Azerbaijan license fee is very, very small and frequencies, we don't have a frequency fee for the spectrum management. The operators are charged very small at the payment. And these three points from the government policy we are implementing and we hope this policy will bring to the success in the broader policy. Now I know this is not your first time here, the ITU telecom world is a key event in ITU's calendar but I wanted to find out why is it important for you to be here? Today we have discussed and we will continue to discuss how to turn the broadband services into universal one. Because it is most important and the poor people in rural places, people they mostly need it. And to convert the broadband services into universal one is the most important issue. And here we are discussing some models, approaches and expertise from different countries. And our goal to come to one acceptable for all one model. And do you have a main message for participants and delegates here in Doha? Once again I wanted to stress the cross-border cooperation and public private cooperation, PEP cross-border. And because what mostly it is very important for the less developed countries, for the countries with low income. And most in these countries people need affordable internet services. And affordable internet services must be low price. And to make the broadband services less to price of these services to make it lower. And we need to bring high connectivity to this region. And this connectivity could be brought on the incorporation not only between the vendors, between operators, but mostly between governments. But now it is a call for all to be closer to this cooperation. To conclude, can I ask you what single technological development do you think will have the biggest impact in the next 5 to 10 years? Yes, the internet of things now will be the most important technology for all. Because now internet is developing very, very widely and the people want to use internet services for all their needs. And internet of things I think will bring together all devices and all people, all machines together. Minister Abbasov, thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much.
