The rates of connecting to the internet both from the home and by the mobile are increasing day by day in Turkey. According to data of the Turkey Statistical Institute, the proportion of households with broadband Internet access in April 2017 was determined to be 78.3%. Looking at this ratio, it is seen that today digital communication has improved so much that it can not be compared with other counterparts.
