Abstract :
Over the last few years the mobile market in South East Europe (SEE) has experienced a rapid growth in terms of operators and penetration rates of mobile telephony. This is due to the fact that wireless telephony has a cost comparable to fixed and it is easier to be established in comparison with fixed. Moreover, the countries of SEE hope that through mobile telephony they will be able to decrease the digital gap between them and the European Union countries. An overview of the mobile telecommunications evolution in SEE countries is analyzed in this article.
