Russia - Mobile Market - Overview and Statistics
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, May 2011, Pages: 29
Russia possesses the largest mobile market in Europe. A number of mobile network operators offer services although the market is dominated by three major operators (MTS, VimpelCom and MegaFon), which have expanded nationally through acquisitions of smaller regional service providers. Competition in the key markets of Moscow and St Petersburg is fierce, due to higher concentration of wealth in the two cities. Russia’s recent economic woes, due to the global financial crisis, have impacted growth although growth is expected to pick up again in line with the overall economy. Mobile SIM card penetration has surpassed 150% although actual mobile user penetration is lower. Deployment of WCDMA/HSDPA network presents a new growth opportunity through the offering of mobile broadband services.
This report provides a concise overview of Russia’s mobile market, in 2011 covering regulatory developments, the major mobile operators including MegaFon, VimpelCom and Tele2, as well as technologies and mobile data, content and applications, and a variety of financial and operational statistics.
