The AKTA group posted about 16% increase in revenue in 2016 compared with 2015, when revenue reached 199.48 million lei (EUR44.9 million).
“Last year’s revenue of the DCS – AKTA Telecom group stood at more than EUR52 million,” Dinu Malacopol, chief executive officer and shareholder of the group told ZF.
The cable TV company is now preparing for the launch of mobile telephony services via a mobile virtual network operator, which will be available only to post-paid users, the AKTA CEO said. The mobile telephony services will become available at the end of the first half.
AKTA will also launch CineMaraton, a TV channel broadcasting only Romanian movies, and will try to get other cable TV providers to carry it.
“We plan to offer the channel to other operators to carry once we’ve launched it in our network. The cost for the other operators will vary with the contracts with sign. There is interest in it from larger operators, we tested the market.”
