Markt f r Telekommunikationsger te expandiert
Article Abstract:
At the beginning of 1999, the abolition of the monopoly of the telephone company Besek is to promote further growth of the telecommunications market in Israel. In 1997, turnover of telecoms technology rose by 11% to about US$ 4.1bn. In October, the third mobile telephony operator, the company Partner, is to introduce GSM which is also to increase growth of the market. In 1997, the mobile telephony sector imported a total of 901,795 mobile phones, up 13%, of which 64% come from the US and 36% from Finland with Nokia sales up 53%. The total value of mobile phone imports amounted to US$ 205.3mn. Imports of fixed-line telephony equipment decreased by 18.4% to US$ 610.3mn, with imports from Germany amounting to US$ 10.2mn. In the first half of 1998, imports from Germany amounted to US$ 5.7mn. The main suppliers were the US, Finland, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. The market for secondary equipment including rechargeable batteries, small speakers, receivers, microphones etc. is estimated at US$ 250-270mn annually. Since Besek introduced voice mailboxes for a fee of about DM 3.70 per month, demand for answering machines dropped by 60% to 70%. The market for fax machines was marked by sales problems and a price decline. Imports decreased to US$ 15.5mn, down 7.6%. The major share came from South Korea, Japan, US and France.
