Telecommunications in Kazakhstan include fixed and mobile telephony, broadcasting, and the internet. The market is led by Kazakhtelecom, the partially state-owned incumbent, which operates national backbone networks and provides fixed broadband and pay television to residential and business customers. Mobile services are provided nationwide by Beeline Kazakhstan, Kcell, and Mobile Telecom Service which uses the Tele2 and Altel brands. Fifth-generation (5G) mobile services launched in December 2022 and have expanded under licence obligations that run to 2027. Kazakhstan retained the shared country code +7 after a 2024 decision to continue code-sharing with Russia, following an earlier ITU reservation of +997 for Kazakhstan in 2021.
