However, broadband networks have also brought unprecedented opportunities to the IT and CT industries.

    STAKES AND PERSPECTIVES OF THE PORTABLE TELEPHONES MARKET IN CENTRAL ASIA CAP PAPERS 176 (ECONOMIC PAPERS SERIES) October 2016 Sebastien Peyrouse1 Since the 1990s, mobile telephony has undergone a global expansion. Central Asia is no exception: at the start of the decade, the mobile telecommunications sector had an annual growth rate of 17.2% in the region.2 Governments, companies, actors of civil society, and sponsors all quickly came to realize the potential of these new technologies. The economic stakes of mobile telephony are high: it dynamizes markets; it makes up for the inefficiency of fixed telephony, which was underdeveloped in the former Soviet Union; it helps with job creation; and it generates revenues and creates services. In developing countries, mobile telephony is considered to be a fundamental factor of progress in the same way that fixed telephony was in developed countries in the 1970s-1980s. According to a World Bank study examining 120 countries, a 10-point increase in penetration of mobile telephony corresponds to an increase in economic growth of 0.6% in developed countries, and of 0.81% in developing countries. In addition, the social stakes of this sector are significant: they are positive when considering the links they help forge between populations living in isolated regions; but they are potentially negative on account of the inequality of utilization and the expenses it generates for households with diminishing resources in an increasingly difficult socio-economic context for Central Asia. This paper puts forward an analysis of mobile telephony’s stakes, companies, and populations in Central Asia. The first part presents an overview of the development of this technology and its operators in each state of the region.
