AKIPRESS.COM - The value of the total volume of mobile telecommunications services decreased by 4.07% in 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, said the State Committee for Information Technology and Communications. According to experts, in recent years there has been a decline in the total volume of traditional telecommunications services, which is also a global trend due to the growing popularity and profitability of the use of Internet services, alternative means of communication such as WhatsApp, Viber and others.
