Description

Georgia - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses

Telecom investors nervous about committing to Georgia’s market. Georgia’s government has long recognised the importance and value of enabling widespread access to telecommunication services and the Internet. It has been actively encouraging investment in fibre networks to offset the poor state of the country’s fixed-line infrastructure, for example. Likewise, the country’s three MNOs (SilkNet, MagtiCom, and VEON Georgia) have each been required to make their respective networks available to new MVNOs. This was in place by the start of 2021.

However, following what appeared to be an attempt to block a foreign takeover of one of the country’s ISPs (the wholesale arm of Caucasus Online by Azerbaijan’s Neqsol Holdings), international investors may have been inadvertently warned off. As such, no prospective MVNOs have come to the surface so far. Neqsol’s acquisition of Caucasus Online was at least ultimately successful in March 2021, but only after being forced to seek redress from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
