Turkish telecom operator Turkcell plans to invest up to USD 250 mln in Ukrainian Astelit to boost the latter’s Ukrainian expansion. Alexander Paraschiy: At the moment Astelit has developed nation-wide network, but its customer base is so low that the company is not breaking even: Astelits’ owner, Euroasia recorded sales smaller than depreciation expenditures. Total losses for 3Q06 amounted USD 168 mln. Thus, Astelit needs investments to help attract new customers.
