  • Romania's Revolution in Telecommunications And
    ROMANIA’S REVOLUTION IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: A GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH MIRELA MARIANA NAE, DAVID TURNOCK Department of Geography, Bucharest University, Nicolae Bălcescu Av, 1, 010041, Bucharest, Romania, Department of Geography, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, U.K. e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Economic restructuring since 1989 has created an environment in which this economic branch has been able to expand through private enterprise; involving both the former state monopoly (through the creation and subsequent privatisation of Romtelecom – emerging from the communist PTTR organisation) and a fiscal regime conducive to private investment both domestic and foreign; not to mention appropriate regimes of licensing and regulation as well as stimulatory measures to accelerate the absorption of information technology. While development has been very rapid globally, Romania’s progress is particularly striking given the low priority for state investment in the 1980s coupled with the enthusiasm of consumers over the past decade and the commitments made by foreign investors. The paper provides a historical introduction before examining recent developments in telephony (both fixed and mobile), cable television and information technology; emphasising the diversity of methods for Internet access; based on material culled from the economic press throughout the post-1989 period. Attention is given to both domestic and foreign IT companies; noting location policies which emphasise not only Bucharest but also the country’s ‘metropoles’ which are very attractive on account of their accessibility and labour markets. Key Words: Cable Television; Computer Hardware/Software; Fixed Telephony; Foreign Investment; Information Technology; Internet; Mobile Telephony Introduction open and competitive market.

  • Eastern Europe to Add 10 Million Digital Pay TV Subs
    Eastern Europe to add 10 million digital pay TV subs Eastern Europe will add nearly 10 million digital pay TV subscribers between 2019 and 2025 to take its total to 77 million. However, the region still had 15.4 million analog cable subscribers by end-2019. Eastern Europe pay TV subscribers by platform (mil) 90.00 80.00 70.00 60.00 50.00 40.00 30.00 20.00 10.00 0.00 2019 2020 2025 Analog cable TV 15.39 12.50 1.25 Digital cable TV 19.91 20.88 26.14 Pay IPTV 16.81 18.04 20.76 Pay Sat TV 29.65 29.44 29.01 Pay DTT 0.93 0.95 1.00 Simon Murray, Principal Analyst at Digital TV Research, explained: “The number of pay TV subscribers in Eastern Europe will decline from 83 million in the peak year of 2018 to 78 million in 2025. Migration married with low birth rates mean that populations will fall in 14 of the 22 countries that we cover between 2019 and 2025.” The number of TV households will fall in 16 countries between 2019 and 2025 – with the region’s TV households dropping by 2.2 million over this period. Russia will account for half of the region’s pay TV subscribers in 2025, but it will lose 2.91 million pay TV subs between 2019 and 2025. The number of pay TV subscribers will fall in six countries between 2019 and 2025.

Almost all of the Danube Delta is located within its territory. Romania shares a border with Hungary and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova to the northeast, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania, with 22.6 million people, is the second most populous country in Central and Eastern Europe. The Romanian currency is the Leu (RON) and 1 Leu equals to 0.24 euro. As of 1 July 2005, the leu (ROL), Romania's legal tender, was redenominated so that 10,000 old lei, in circulation on that date, can be exchanged for 1 new leu (RON). Romania joined the European Union on 1 January 2007 and it is expected to adopt the euro in 2014.
