History

1992–2000

Uzbektelecom was established in 1992.[2]

In 1995–1996, the state enterprise began to be privatized through the formation of multiple joint stock companies, including Uzbektelecom International.[2] In 1997, the Ministry of Communications of the Republic of Uzbekistan was reorganized into the Uzbek Post and Telecommunications Agency, followed by the establishment of regional joint stock companies providing telecommunications services.[2]

2000–2005

From 2000 through 2002, Uzbektelecom was reorganized from a holding company to an operating company, merging the regional telecommunications companies into Uzbektelecom.[2][3][4]

In 2003, Uzbektelecom began providing CDMA-450 wireless radio access. As of 2003, the wireless radio access system was working in Samarkand and the Djizak regions.[2] In 2004 and 2005, Uzbektelecom improved international telephone access as well as internet access.[2][5][6][7]

2006—present

As of 2007, mobile CDMA communication services were available in all regions of Uzbekistan.[2] In 2011, Uzbektelecom was rebranded as Uztelecom, with sub-brands Uzmobile and Uzonline.[2] In 2012 and 2013, Uztelecom continued to expand its coverage, providing CDMA wireless services to 71% of the country, and installing fiber-optic lines between cities within Uzbekistan and to international destinations.[2]

In April 2023, Uztelecom began trialing its 5G network in the city of Tashkent in preparation for a full scale 5G rollout.[8][9]
