general
assessment: Ukraine's telecommunication development plan, running
through 2005, emphasizes improving domestic trunk lines, international connections, and the
mobile cellular system
domestic: at independence in December 1991, Ukraine inherited a telephone system that
was antiquated, inefficient, and in disrepair; more than 3.5 million applications for
telephones could not be satisfied; telephone density is now rising slowly and the domestic
trunk system is being improved; the mobile cellular telephone system is expanding at a high
rate
international: two new domestic trunk lines are a part of the fiber-optic
Trans-Asia-Europe (TAE) system and three Ukrainian links have been installed in the
fiber-optic Trans-European Lines (TEL) project which connects 18 countries; additional
international service is provided by the Italy-Turkey-Ukraine-Russia (ITUR) fiber-optic
submarine cable and by earth stations in the Intelsat, Inmarsat, and Intersputnik satellite
systems |
