EASTERN EUROPE MOBILE MARKET
Source: Yankee Group
"The mobile markets of Eastern Europe undoubtedly will grow, but at different speeds and levels of opportunity," says Farid Yunus, Yankee Group Wireless/Mobile Europe senior analyst. "Low fixed-line penetration provides a unique opportunity for mobile network operators, in both voice and data communications."
Russia emerged in 2002 as the largest and fastest growing mobile market in Eastern Europe, raising regional penetration to 22 percent.
By 2007 Eastern Europe will:
:. Grow to 125 million mobile users, with half residing in Poland and Russia, pushing regional mobile penetration to 37 percent
:. Have regional pockets of highly advanced mobile data infrastructure and services, including 3G, but remain largely underdeveloped due to continuing economic inequity
:. See blended ARPU dip and then recover to almost US$20 per month, with data ARPU approaching US$5 in the Czech Republic and Hungary
