Turkey's regulatory body, the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA), has promoted competition much more aggressively in the mobile market than in the fixed-line and broadband segments. This has benefited Turk Telekom (TT), the former state company which is still not fully privatised. TT is expected to remain the dominant player in the fixed-line sector, which might favour growth at its mobile-phone subsidiary, Avea, the smallest of the three mobile network operators.
Competition in the mobile-phone market is set to remain intense as a result of mobile number portability (MNP) since 2008, sharp reductions in interconnection rates between mobile-phone operators, and the issuance of third-generation (3G) and mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) licences (that allow a mobile operator without a network to use an existing network).
