Telecommunications market of Slovakia


Phone Cards, Calling Cards
Fixed-line penetration is considerably lower in Slovakia than in neighbouring Central European countries. The market is dominated by the incumbent, though a number of interconnection agreements concluded in early 2005 promises greater participation by alternative operators. Nevertheless, access to the local loop remains elusive. The GSM market is run by a duopoly of operators which have concentrated on mobile data services to buttress revenue as mobile penetration approaches saturation. Although Internet use is comparatively low, broadband penetration has taken off in recent years. This report provides a concise overview of the sectors that constitute Slovakia’s communications industry, offering relevant statistics and brief profiles of the main players.
