  Executive Summary
The Romanian telecommunications market is one of the most interesting and attractive markets in Central Europe, as long as numbers of users and turnover are steadily growing at high rates. Romania has been struggling to bring its telecommunications system up to the standard found in developed countries; two digit growth has been reported in the mobile telephony and data transmission sectors, while penetration of telecommunications services coming somewhat closer to levels noted in Central European countries.
The Romanian market still remains in many respects different not only from Western European markets, but even from the telecommunications markets in other Central European countries implying an important potential for growth. Four major takeovers in early 2005 by leading players (Vodafone, France Telecom, CosmOTE and UPC) in deals valued at over US$3 billion are to reconfigure Romanian telecommunications landscape, while other important deals (IPO, privatizations) that could rise over US$1 billion, are expected in 2006.
The report includes a useful set of market data and recommendations in order to help reader understand the current and future market dynamics. This study looks at the drivers for, and barriers to, growth of telecommunications markets. Top companies involved in this mobile industry segment are profiled and key patterns of success and failure in past are discussed. Recommendations and future strategy directions are also suggested. The report highlights the trends and the factors responsible for market growth.

The primary audience for this report is managers, involved with the highest levels of the strategic planning process, and also consultants, decision makers and other professionals, who prepare effective strategies for business development (management, marketing or financial departments).
