New Fixed Networks market report from Business Monitor International: "Moldova Telecommunications Report 2015"
[USPRwire, Tue Jan 06 2015] The fixed broadband sector continues to outperform the mobile and fixed telephony sectors as huge investments in fibre optic network deployments are matched by strong demand for high speed internet connectivity and convergence services. This trend will continue for ost of our forecast period to 2018, although this could be counterbalanced by mobile broadband services following the roll out of 4G LTE services by the country's two biggest mobile operators. The demand for data services bodes well for telecoms service providers in Moldova which are hard-pressed by the decline in basic voice service revenues.
Key Data
