The Ministry for Development of Information Technologies and Communications oversees the industry. The main fixed-line operator is the state-owned Uztelecom. The mobile market is competitive with several key players including Beeline (Unitel), Ucell (Coscom), Mobiuz (UMS, formerly operating under the Universal Mobile Systems brand), and UzMobile (the mobile arm of Uztelecom), along with newer entrants like Humans. These operators have been expanding 3G and 4G/LTE coverage across the country, with efforts to introduce 5G services. Fiber-optic infrastructure is also being developed to improve broadband internet access.
