Orange doesn’t expect price increases as the telecom market is very competitive, Fallacher said. “We are keen to keep clients, competition is the same, so I don’t believe prices will grow.”
He added the crisis peak in the telecom sector has passed, but the market revival is still incomplete on consumers not spending as much as before the crisis.
The heads of the largest players on the Romanian telecom market also said on Tuesday the launch of a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Romania would be very difficult, because of “very low” prices on the market.
Also speaking at ZF Digital ’12, an event organized by Ziarul Financiar on October 16 and 17, Vodafone Romania CEO Inaki Berroeta said Romania is a difficult market for MVNOs in terms of prices on the telecom market. He also said MVNOs penetrated telecom markets in other countries because prices are ten times higher than those in Romania.
