INA supports the CEE Telecoms Wholesale Strategies for profitable growth in a multi-operator environment
For the 5th consecutive year, the EastEuro Link Telecom Event has been established as one of the definitive events for the Telecom Industry for Central and Southeast Europe. This year for the second time INA is supporting this prestigious event. With participants from across all Europe, the conference named ‘’ Wholesale Strategies for profitable growth in a multi-operator environment’’ features cutting edge presentations from the CSEE governments and real life case studies presented by top industry leaders. INA is offering a 10% discounted conference fees for the SEE ICT Weekly Update subscribers.

The European telecom market in 2007 flourished owing to the fact that it was stimulated by continuing investments in the mobile and Broadband sectors. While there was little further mobile network construction, most operators have upgraded existing networks to higher-capacity HSDPA to take advantage of mobile data offerings. In conjunction with these investments, in 2008 a greater emphasis will be placed on migrating consumers to 3G services and on developing content to stimulate higher-ARPU use among consumers.

The CEE countries have undergone rapid economic development. This has transformed the telecoms markets within this region, as international investment has driven infrastructure deployments and service rollouts.

Numerous fixed-line networks in the SEE region are undergoing modernisation at a fortunate time, with NGNs and advanced wireless broadband technologies such as WiMax are widely available. Low broadband penetration levels are rising at extraordinary rates, mirroring growth rates recorded in Central Eastern Europe during that region’s initial broadband growth period. Future fixed-line broadband growth may be constrained by the falling number of fixed lines in service, given that numerous countries in the region had low fixed-line penetration levels to begin with.

This conference will examine the key issues of the current global structure of the telecoms market and opportunities for CEE Telecoms Wholesale.
