Therefore among perspective plans of KT are activities on rapid Therefore among perspective plans of KT are activities on rapid building and development of transnational high speed FO backbones, building and development of transnational high speed FO backbones, connecting Kyrgyzstan with neighboring countries’ networks. Thus connecting Kyrgyzstan with neighboring countries’ networks. Thus Kyrgyzstan might become a transit telecommunications state located Kyrgyzstan might become a transit telecommunications state located right in the center of the Eurasia continent.right in the center of the Eurasia continent.

An attendant problem for KT here is making use of existing An attendant problem for KT here is making use of existing (modernization) and future FO systems effective in terms of application (modernization) and future FO systems effective in terms of application of WDMs technologiesof WDMs technologies

There were several telecom projects under which KT has been There were several telecom projects under which KT has been introducing FO cable systems.
