The telecommunication sector in Turkey has grown at a rapid pace in past few years, driven by government support and initiatives aimed at liberalization and privatization of the sector. Besides this, other factors such as favorable demographics coupled with rising disposable income and a desire to avail hi-tech telecom services have been fostering the growth of Turkish telecom market.
According to our latest research report, “Turkey Telecom Sector Forecast to 2012”, the telecom market in Turkey offers huge potential for future developments owing to low fixed-line, Internet and broadband penetrations in the country.

On the other hand, mobile services, which penetrated nearly 92% of the Turkish population in 2008, have also been feeling the negative impacts of economic recession.
Our research identifies that allowance of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) along with issuance of 3G licenses in late 2008 will drive up investment and growth in the country’s telecom sector.
