2022: Getting a multibillion-dollar investment
In October 2022, IC Group, which a few months earlier became the owner of the two largest Crimean mobile operators - Vivacell-MTS and KTK-Telecom, announced the investment of at least 5 billion rubles in the development of telecommunications on the peninsula.
According to a representative of the IC Group, we are talking about investments for 2023. At the same time, he did not specify the projects for which money will be allocated. The company only told Vedomosti that we are talking about projects for the development of mobile and fixed communications, equipment purchases, the construction of base stations, etc.
 | This year, our investments in infrastructure exceeded 3 billion rubles, which is several times more than the amount of 2021, in 2020 and previous years, - said a representative of IC Group. |  |
According to him, during this period, according to the company's estimates, about 1 billion rubles were spent annually on the development of operators.
This is not the first major investment in the development of communications in. In To the Crimea April 2022, it became known that the bank "" Russia could allocate 3 billion rubles over seven years to create a new mobile operator in Crimea. As a partner, according to the source Businessman"," a Rostelecom Crimean provider associated with the "Crimean provider" was considered. Miranda media LLC Elemte-Invest, controlled by him, owns the necessary licenses for the provision of mobile communications services and is pledged to Russia"." But the allocated funds will only be enough to cover key points in large cities with communication, and to create a full-fledged operator will require much more investment, analysts interviewed by the newspaper say.
If earlier Russian operators were stopped from working on the peninsula by the threat of imposing sanctions, now "Russia itself is under sanctions," and this obstacle has been eliminated, said Mobile Research Group analyst Eldar Murtazin. In his opinion, operators will begin to enter the Crimea by the end of 2022.[1]
