Tajikistan updates radio-spectrum rules, sharpening the operating map for connectivity and IoT projects

Verified facts

• The Communications Service under the Government of Tajikistan published rules dated 25 February 2026 on allocation of the radio-frequency spectrum. Publication of allocation rules confirms a formal regulatory layer; it does not assign a frequency, authorise a station or device, establish spectrum availability, approve an operator, set commercial terms or create a right for an outside party.
• The World Bank’s 2025 Tajikistan Economic Update identifies connectivity, cybersecurity, digital identity, paperless trade, data protection, cross-border data transfers and consumer safeguards among areas requiring further work. Identified gaps and reform priorities are not proof that a product is compliant, a regulator will approve an application, a system will interoperate, data may be accessed or transferred, or a buyer has a budget.
• World Bank reporting on Tajikistan’s Digital Foundations Project identifies public-sector institutions associated with work on digital services, connectivity and skills. A publicly financed programme does not establish access to a work package, technical specification, procurement, infrastructure location, data, funding, award or payment for an external firm.
• The U.S. International Trade Administration’s 2026 ICT overview describes digital-economy programmes, connectivity ambitions and market constraints. Such external context cannot determine a specific operator’s licence, network performance, customer demand, serviceability, price, collection or transaction.
