123 New Telecentres to be Installed by 4 Universal Service Providers

19.12.2006

 

Today, December 19, 2006, ANRC has designated the companies that are to install telecentres in 123 more localities in the rural area with limited access to telephone services. The companies that won this tender launched in September 2006 are: Orange Romania, Rartel, the National Radiocommunications Company (Radiocom) and Vodafone Romania.

     

      

Orange Romania will install 36 telecentres in villages of 18 counties (read more)

Rartel will install 24 telecentres in villages of 14 counties (read more)

The National Radiocommunications Company will install 44 telecentres in villages of 16 counties (read more)

      Vodafone Romania will install 19 telecentres in villages of 13 counties (read more)

 

The installation of the 123 telecentres will start as soon as the winners of the tender, the mayors of the respective localities and ANRC sign the three-party agreements. The three-party agreements provide the obligation of the local administrations to make available to the companies designated as universal service providers, within 15 days, the site required for the telecentre operation. The companies have the obligation to install the telecentres and start providing the services within 120 days from the date when the required space is made available. The 123 telecentres are to be progressively installed by mid-2007.

The net cost for the installation of these 123 telecentres amounts to RON 4,973,881.31, which is to be compensated by ANRC from the universal service fund. On average, the total cost of the equipments installed and of the maintenance of one telecentre for 3 years, as established by the tender, amounts to RON 40,438 (approximately 11.800 Euro). This cost varies from one locality to another, depending on the technology used and on the distance from the telecentre to the last point of the designated provider’s network.

So far, ANRC organised tenders for the installation of telecentres in 331 localities. The telecentres in 124 of these localities are already functioning; the rest are due to be commissioned by the middle of next year.

A telecentre is a public site endowed with at least 2 telephone sets, 2 computers and one fax machine, within which the end-users may initiate and receive local, national and international calls. A telecentre may also provide facsimile and data communications services at a transfer rate high enough to allow functional access to the Internet.
