DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Ukraine
– Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations – Statistics and
Analyses” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
This report provides an overview of Ukraine’s telecom market, including
profiles of the major operators, a review of telecom network
infrastructure, regulatory measures, and emerging network developments.
Ukraine’s telecoms market is supported by a population of over 42
million. National telecom infrastructure is being modernised through
considerable investment in both the mobile and fixed-broadband sectors.
Competition is provided from a number of alternative operators, and
although the incumbent Ukrtelecom remains the dominant player in the
fixed-line market the regulatory environment has improved following the
sale of Ukrtelecom to the local conglomerate SCM Group in 2011, though
the legality of this sale has been disputed and legal action is ongoing:
the Kiev Economic Court at the end of 2018 rejected assertions that the
2011 sale was invalid.
Ukraine’s telecom market has attracted investors from Turkey and Russia,
while Vodafone Group has partnered with MTS Ukraine to help develop
mobile services under the Vodafone Ukraine brand.
The political tension which erupted in late 2013, and which escalated in
a more violent form in eastern areas of the country, has brought focus
to the vulnerability of the national telecom network, parts of which
have been subjected to vandalism. A number of telcos operating in
Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, left the peninsular after their
licences were made over to Russian firms.
More recently, telcos have retreated from the Donetsk region after it
was impossible for them to operate their networks and continue to offer
services. The telecom regulator now assesses market statistics
(including revenue) excluding data from Crimea and the separately
administered city of Sevastopol, as well as from occupied areas of the
Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
Key Developments:
-
ESU fails in petition against Court ruling invalidating the
acquisition of a 92.79% stake in Ukrtelecom; - Ukrtelecom makes progress with network upgrade project with Huawei;
- New cable to Crimean peninsula is operational;
- Legal amendments to Telecoms Law widen regulator’s powers;
- Fixed lines in service continue to decline;
