Russian Telecom Newsletter

The Russian Telecom Monthly Newsletter will serve as your guide on the latest developments in the Russian telecommunications and IT market. For the past five years, the Russian ICT (information and communication technologies) market has demonstrated some exceptional annual growth, averaging 25 percent. Based on data from the Russian Ministry of Information Technologies and Communication, last year the total ICT market size (including electrical communications, IT sector, and post) surpassed US$40 billion. In 2006, telecom sector revenues grew 26 percent and reached US$29.6 billion. In the meantime, foreign investments in the Russian telecom sector have doubled. While Russian mobile communication is still an exciting market, the Internet and fixed communication services sectors have flourished in the past two years. With the issuance of 3G licenses and booming broadband Internet consumption, the sector is destined to grow further.

Taking into account the stable ICT market growth, it is very important for vendors and service providers to be up-to-date with the ever-changing Russian high-tech industry.
