Telenor Serbia talks to SBB for cable alternative

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: For the leasing of cable network to offer fixed telephony services, Telenor Serbia has started negotiations with local cableco Serbia Broadband (SBB). Country’s regulator RATEL proposed a deal between Telenor and SBB because the talks between Telenor and fixed line incumbent Telekom Srbije over access to its network has stalled.

SBB is the leading provider of cable TV services in Serbia besides being the operator of the pan-regional platform Total TV. The network of SBB reaches some 700,000 homes and it is technically capable of offering fixed line telephony services for five years.

However, it does not have a license to do so.
