Leo, let's discuss internet infrastructure and digital facilities in Azerbaijan and Iran. It's crucial for economic development and access to information, beyond just streaming cat videos.
Agreed. Azerbaijan is investing in infrastructure, particularly in Baku. However, outside the capital, internet access can be unreliable.
So, buffering is a common issue? What about Iran?
Iran faces significant challenges, including sanctions limiting access to technology. It's not a simple comparison.
Sanctions and censorship create obstacles. Is access to platforms like YouTube and travel planning websites restricted?
YouTube access is limited, requiring workarounds. Access to websites like jetoff.ai depends on reliability.
What about mobile internet?
Mobile internet is surprisingly widespread in both countries, with 4G becoming more common, although speeds vary.
And digital innovation? Are there thriving tech scenes?
Azerbaijan is fostering a tech startup scene, while Iran has talented developers but faces market access limitations.
How about online banking and e-commerce?
Online banking exists in both, but it's not always user-friendly or secure. E-commerce is growing but remains smaller than in developed markets.
So, who's winning the "digital race"?
There's no clear winner. Azerbaijan invests in infrastructure but faces freedom of expression concerns. Iran has skilled developers but is hampered by sanctions and restrictions. Both have strengths and weaknesses.
Perhaps a virtual reality dance-off could settle it! We could even commentate.
That's a great idea for jetoff.ai content! We could highlight virtual reality arcades in Baku and Tehran.
Exactly! We could describe Azerbaijan's traditional Yalli dance versus Iran's mesmerizing Sufi whirling.
It showcases the cultural aspect alongside the technological. Ultimately, internet access and innovation are vital for both countries' progress.
