Belarus Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband, and Digital Media Statistics and Analyses 2017 - Research and MarketsThe "Belarus - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband, and Digital Media - Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering. Belarus's wholesale mobile provider beCloud trialling 5G The poorly performing economy has impacted on operator revenue, particular for the subsidiaries of Turkcell (News - Alert) and Telecom Austria. The local currency was devalued by 6.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016 alone. These ongoing economic difficulties have also reduced customer spend, contributing to lower revenue and investment. Nevertheless, there remain many opportunities for growth in coming years, particularly in the broadband segment where the incumbent telco Beltelecom is migrating its PSTN network to a fibre-based network. This will better position the company to offer a range of bundled services. Although the sector has been reformed, this has not yet resulted in the privatisation of the incumbent Beltelecom Although the government is keen to control the company's assets, there is grater pressure for it to sell state enterprises generally in a bid to reduce overall debt. Growth for Beltelecom has been adversely affected by the poor economy, though growth is expected in the FttP sector, where much of the company's capex is directed. The mobile sector has also experienced some growth, with a rise in mobile penetration attributed to effective competition which has helped drive down consumer prices. Operators have concentrated on developing mobile broadband and data services with a view to capitalising on such services to increase ARPU. Recent spectrum auctions have facilitated the development of mobile broadband access, particularly in rural areas, while the state-sponsored operator beCloud, charged with developing a wholesale-based LTE (News - Alert) network, has enabled commercial LE services to be launched by MNOs.
