However, the country's infrastructure is generally in a poor state, only a small proportion of the switching system being electronic and much of this is old. Whilst the number of digital lines have been increased, only 53% of the network was digital by end-2004. There is also a high unsatisfied demand with a 2-3 year waiting list. National operator, Kazakhtelecom has launched a program to modernise the country's telecommunications system. The plan includes modernising the company's rural telecommunications network using digital telephone exchanges. The company has also been installing satellite facilities in Kazakhstan's rural areas.

The market started to take off in 2000 and has experienced remarkable growth since then. By the March 2005, after annual growth of 80% in 2004, the mobile subscriber base was around 3.2 million and approaching 20% penetration. Altel, the country's original mobile operator, has been joined by two new operators offering GSM services. The arrival of two competing operators has resulted in lower prices and broadening of services. For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20837. |
