We recently took a look at Ukrainian operators and their relative positions in the country’s telecom market.
As the Russian invasion continues, we turn our attention to the efforts of Ukrainian telcos, who are attempting to keep communications online under the most difficult circumstances.
Due to the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian operators are suffering cyberattacks and physical network damage.
Below, we take a look at who those operators are and their relative positions in the country’s telecom market.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24 has spurred a raft of sanctions from Western governments.
These measures are aimed at limiting Russia’s international economic activity and foreign trade.
Brazil’s long-awaited 5G spectrum auction drew to a close in November. It generated total commitments of BRL47.2 billion ($8.5 billion).
Alongside bids from major players Telefonica Brasil (Vivo), Claro Brasil, and TIM Brasil—and established regional players like Algar Telecom and Sercomtel—the auction featured a number of lesser-known participants.
Today we scrutinize the other companies that scooped up 5G frequencies and examine their plans.
According to a study commissioned by Swedish equipment vendor Ericsson, 5G connectivity could be fundamental to Europe achieving future climate targets.
The study finds that until 2030, at least 40% of the EU’s carbon reduction solutions will rely on fixed line and mobile connectivity. 5G will play a major part in this trend.
Starlink—the satellite broadband venture established by Elon Musk’s SpaceX business—has attracted plenty of attention this year, especially as the outspoken entrepreneur continues to share his company’s ambitious plans on social media.
With fellow tycoon Jeff Bezos plotting an alternative satellite broadband launch via Project Kuiper, the two billionaires have become embroiled in an increasingly bitter public feud in recent months.
But these two heavyweights aren’t the only parties determined to enter the satellite broadband sector. From China, to Canada, to the UK, let’s break down the key international players targeting the low earth orbit (LEO) sector to see how their respective proposals stack up.
Uganda’s wireless market has been rocked by the announcement of the imminent closure of number-three player Africell.
Following last month’s Progress Report in which we examined key wireless newcomers, today we scrutinize would-be major players who are finalizing their launch plans.
The last 18 months have seen commercial launches from three major wireless newcomers: Rakuten Mobile in Japan, DITO Telecommunity in the Philippines, and WOM in Colombia.
The markets in question are very different, but each is ultra-competitive in nature.
This week we examine the respective progress made by the three newcomers and evaluate whether they’re living up to the hype.
