Despite sharing a common past CIS countries are very different as regards their: size, number and density of their populations, economies, business and legal environments, political systems and even the mentality and worldview of the people living in each specific state. There is no common economic regulation in CIS or coordination of members’ economic policies. Only recently Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan created a common economic area, which will lead to the harmonization of legislation in these countries. These differences impact on the current development of telecommunication markets in CIS countries.

Telecommunications market in CIS countries 2010 report provides a regional overview and comparative analysis of the telecommunications market in eleven CIS countries (excluding Russia) including key trends and development forecasts for 2010-2014.

The report section concludes with a list of key market players by revenue, level of investment and forecasts for each of the markets.

Subsequent sections of the report provide an overview of the telecommunications sector in other CIS countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Each market is characterised by the following indicators supplied in the data sheet for the period of 2005-2009.
