Local newspaper Ziarul Financiar has reported that a Romaniannretailer is in advanced talks with mobile network operators to leaseninfrastructure to launch an MVNO. The launch would be the firstnMVNO in Romania, following the regulator ANCOM's publicationnof regulatory guidelines in May 2012. BMI believes the presencenof MVNOs will be positive for consumers as it will increase choicenand lower prices. However, we caution that MVNO opportunitnies in Romania are limited already by low prices and high mobilenpenetration.
