"Strategic's TELECOMS
Observatory 2001"
A unique mapping of Telecommunications in Greece and Cyprus, is now
available
Athens, 6 February
2002 - The Greek Telecoms market came up to
2,3 trillion GRD in 2000, showing an increase of 13%, a bit lower than
the growth rate of the European telecoms sector. According to an analysis
of the company Strategic International, the Greek telecoms market is expected
to increase by 13% in 2001.
The biggest share of the market, 80% belongs to the services whereas the
rest 20% to the telecom equipment. The intense competition stemming from
the telecom market deregulation will change today's scenery, will slowly
give a new thrust to the market and also is going to give an end to the
monopoly of the Greek Telecoms Organization (OTE). All these findings,
together with many analyses, forecasts and useful information about the
Telecoms markets and companies of Greece and Cyprus are included in the
annual publication "Strategic's TELECOMS Observatory 2001 - Greece
& Cyprus", edited and published by Strategic International/ K.Kataras
S.A., one of the leading strategy consulting firms for the Digital Economy.

The contribution of
Telecoms in the Global Village
The Information Society, in which we live in, requires a stable,
broadband and most of all cheap of transporting information and data across
the globe, or even the office, a role performed by Telecoms. Apart from
that role, Telecommunications are also utilized as a business enabler,
as they are the bearer of important customer data, which can be transformed
to knowledge and then to profit, while they are the contact point between
a company, its suppliers and its customers.
However, the access of these global Information Highways is not equal
to all. The "Information Rich" Western world has fast, cheap
and broadband access to all kinds of information and telecom services,
while the "Information Poor" rest of the world has narrowband,
expensive and sometimes no access at all. Towards that direction, the
European Union, as well as local governments, have launched ambitious
programs, like e-Europe initiative, with poor so far results.
Strategic International/ K.Kataras S.A., capitalizing on its rich New
Economy Research and Publications activities, publishes its annual "Strategic's
TELECOMS Observatory 2001 - Greece & Cyprus", as part of a series
of quality, information-rich annual publications for the New Economy.
This year's issue is in English language and also available on CD ROM
version, harmonizing with the requirements of globalization and the pan
European expansion plans of many Greek and Cypriot New Economy companies.
Inside it, the reader can find descriptions of Greek and Cypriot governmental
strategies towards the Information Society, a thorough mapping of the
Greek and Cypriot Telecoms industry, valuable overviews, trends and key
figures for the Telecommunications Markets, profiles of major companies
of the sector, bios of key Telecoms personalities of Greece and Cyprus,
and many more that render this publication, as well as the other annual
publications of Strategic International (Internet Observatory 2001, IT
Observatory 2001), an irreplaceable tool to the hand of entrepreneurs
and decision makers involved or intending to involve in the field of the
New Economy and Telecommunications.
