“We are number one on the mobile telephony market with a market share of more than 40%,” Pellisier said during a news conference in Bucharest held to introduce the new Orange Romania CEO, Liudmila Climoc.
The goal on the fixed services market where Orange is not present yet is to have at least half of the mobile segment market share by 2020, he added.
To do that, Orange relies on the agreement to use the optical fiber network rival Telekom Romania has installed in cities. It chose this option to be able to expand onto this market fast and address the demand for fixed lines and convergent service packages, which has doubled in Romania in the past year, Gervais Pellisier said.
Orange is ready to contribute more, financially, to the expansion of the Telekom network than it does now, he added.
Its goal is to consolidate and expand its leading position and become an integrated service provider, said Liudmila Climoc, the new Orange Romania CEO.
