The Syrian government plans to offer 3rd mobile licence in the country and is in talks already with the Russian mobile operators for the network launch. “They have an idea to add one more mobile operator there. The participation of Russian companies in the Syrian mobile market is possible,” Russia’s Communications Minister Igor Shchyogolev reportedly said.
The Russian number one MTS plans entering Syrian market if given an offer, MTS spokeswoman Irina Osadchaya stated, while Vimplecom confirms that Syria is a country it has looked at for its ongoing overseas expansion plans. Megafon also would like to give it a chance.
