Moldova - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband & Forecasts

Synopsis

Moldova’s telecoms market reflects the country’s growing economy, with total telecom sector revenue and investment rising year-on-year. Competition in the fixed line market is expected to improve after the regulator was granted additional powers to ensure fair competition. Fixed broadband services are available via ADSL, cable and FttH/LAN and represent the majority of Internet connections. Mobile services are offered by one CDMA and three GSM operators in Moldova and one CDMA operator in the Transdniester region. The launch of 3G/HSDPA networks has opened up a new revenue growth opportunity centred on mobile broadband. This report offers a concise overview of Moldova’s developing telecom market, offering a wealth of statistics and information on the major players, telecom infrastructure and services offered as well as fixed broadband forecasts to 2019.
