Sales of fixed-line phone services in the first nine months of this year fell by over 10% to 754.8 million lei. The total volume of traffic in the landline phone networks came to 1.9 billion minutes, being also lower. The decline in the voice traffic and in the revenues from sales of fixed-line phone services was somehow offset by the insignificant rise in the number of subscribers, IPN reports, quoting a report by the ICT regulator ANRCETI.

The increase in the total number of subscribers is due exclusively to the 23 alternative providers that in the period connected over 12,200 new customers (+1%) to their networks. On October 1 this year, they had 118,500 subscribers.

The customer base of the national telecoms carrier SA “Moldtelecom” diminished by over 11,500 (-1%) to about 1.1 million.
