DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wh7t7z/kazkahstan_and_cen) has announced the addition of the "Kazakhstan and Central Asia Telecommunications Report Q2 2012" report to their offering.
Kazkahstan and Central Asia Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Poland's telecommunications industry.
The Q212 update to BMI's report on telecoms markets of Kazakhstan and its four Central Asian neighbours incorporates new mobile subscriber data for the three months ending December 31 2011. Using this data, BMI has made upward revisions to our five-year growth forecasts for the development of several of the region's mobile markets based on stronger than expected growth in Q411. Looking ahead, the region's mobile markets will continue to see growth, however, we expect additions to slow in the latter part of the forecast period as a number of the region's markets see a slowdown as mobile markets reach maturity.
Key regional developments within the past three months include the conclusion of the first phase of the agreement for Nordic operator TeliaSonera to increase its stake in K-Cell, Kazakhstan's largest mobile operator by subscribers.
In February 2012, TeliaSonera announced the completion of the first phase of the transaction, acquiring 49% from Kazakh fixed-line operator Kazakhtelecom for US$1.52bn. It reiterated its position that it would sell 25% minus one share in an IPO before the end of 2012. K-Cell is a joint venture (JV) between Fintur Holdings (with a 51% stake) and Kazakhtelecom (with 49%).
Meanwhile, Fintur Holdings is owned by TeliaSonera (58.55%) and Turkey's Turkcell (with a 41.45% interest). As detailed in the earlier MoU, Kazakhtelecom will list all of its shares in the aforementioned IPO, apart from a 24% plus one share, which will be acquired by TeliaSonera directly.
Another notable regional development was the news that from January 1 2012 the Government of Uzbekistan introduced a fee for mobile operators charged on a per subscriber basis.
