Despite facing the downward global economic crisis in 2009, the total Russian telecom market still grew by 11 percent, generating Rb1.1 trillion (US$33.9 billion) in 2009. We expect the number of mobile subscribers to rise to almost 263.3 million, translating into a subscriber penetration of 190 percent by year-end 2014, indicates Deniss Radcenko, Associate Analyst at Pyramid Research and co-author of the report.
"Russia's telecom market offers considerable opportunities for vendors and investors," Radcenko says. "Operators are heavily investing in mobile broadband and, in line with this, upgrading their 3G networks in order to compete in the vital mobile data segment. There is an outstanding opportunity for vendors in the TV broadcasting sector as analog-to-digital migration has been underway since mid-2009 and will be finalized by 2015," he adds.
