Revenues from broadband services
The broadband access market retains stable positive dynamics. In large cities, operators are increasing the profitability of the subscriber base through the migration of users from ADSL technologies to FTTx and GPON networks, which makes it possible to increase the access speed, expand the set of services and form more value-based package offerings.
In rural areas, the development of the segment is supported by the implementation of projects on the provision of universal communications services, within the framework of which operators receive state subsidies compensating part of the lost revenues related to the application of socially oriented tariffs.

2.5.3.4. Pay-TV
Based on the results of 2025, the volume of revenues of operators from the provision of pay-TV services in Kazakhstan amounted to KZT 52.3 billion. The main part of the revenues of the segment is traditionally formed through households, which account for the overwhelming share of consumption of pay-TV services. The segment as a whole is characterised by restrained growth dynamics, which is related to the gradual change of the model of video content consumption and the strengthening of competition from OTT and streaming services.
In these conditions, operators support the stability of revenues through the development of interactive functions, the expansion of content libraries and the inclusion of television services in convergent package offerings. In the long term, the preservation of stable demand for pay-TV services as part of package products is expected, at the same time the rates of growth of the segment will probably remain moderate as compared with the Internet and mobile communications markets.
