Media Review September 27, 2018
The activities of Azerbaijan's telecommunications satellites and measures for the development of the non-oil sector are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the third satellite of Azerbaijan put into orbit, emphasizing the merit of Ilham Aliyev in the creation of the country's space industry.
From now on, Azerbaijan, which is a transport and logistics transit hub of the South Caucasus and Eurasia, has also become the center of regional space industry.
The website Bizimyol also writes about the development of Azercosmos. The telecommunications expert Osman Gunduz believes this area is already occupied by the largest companies, and Azerbaijan can not compete here. So, our previous satellite broadcasts television signals around the world.
This sphere is limited, and the market is full, the expert believes. Putting a satellite into orbit is only 5% of the case. It is important to find a satellite service buyer. The satellite"s life is 15 years, that is, the invested 100 million must be returned within this period. In addition, this satellite will not affect the development of Internet services.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya publishes material on the state of the non-oil sector of the economy, on measures to encourage exports, support for small and medium-sized businesses, and direct investment in the country's economy.
Such measures have been taken since 2015, but despite dozens of orders, decrees and laws, the problems of the non-oil sector do not disappear.
