DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Russia
– Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations – Statistics and
Analyses” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
This report provides an overview of Russia’s fixed-line telecom and IT
markets. It includes information on key regulatory developments, data on
fixed-line networks, and an assessment of telcos’ financial and
operating performance.
The Russian telecom market is the largest in Europe, supported by a
population of about 144 million. The market is dominated by the western
regions where the main cities and economic centres are concentrated. All
sectors have been liberalised, with competition most prevalent in Moscow
and St Petersburg, the two largest regional markets.
The former holding company for Russia’s incumbent telecom operators,
Svyazinvest, has emerged as Rostelecom, with most regional players
absorbed into the operator. Rostelecom subsequently merged its mobile
business with Tele2 Russia, which launched mobile services in the
important Moscow market in October 2015.
Telcos continue to deploy and modernise fixed-line network
infrastructure to offer improved broadband services as well as a range
of IP-delivered content. The government is investing billions of Rubles
in a 200,000km telecom network which will provide a broadband service of
at least 10Mb/s to thousands of underserved villages. Rostelecom has
been contracted to undertake and manage the work.
Russia has also emerged as one of Europe’s fastest growing markets for
fibre-based broadband, with Rostelecom’s own fibre broadband access
network covering more than 35 million premises. By late 2018 about
two-thirds of the company’s fixed-line broadband subscribers were on its
fibre infrastructure.
Russia’s recent economic woes, partly resulting from the ongoing global
financial crisis and partly to difficulties associated with a range of
sanctions related to the annexation of Ukraine, have impacted growth in
the telecom sector.
