Romania’s telecom market is reaching saturation point in the numbers of its users, especially in mobile telecom, and the competition between operators is strengthening. At the end of 2006, the number of mobile telephone services users, based on subscriptions and prepaid cards, amounted to 17.4 million, 30 per cent more than the previous year, and the penetration rate of this type of services was 81 per cent. “I think simcard penetration will go to 90 per cent this year,” predicts Orange’s Richard Moat. Nikolaos Tsolas, CEO of Cosmote Romania, estimates penetration will reach 100 per cent in two years’ time.
