Romania’s second largest cable operator RCS/RDS has launched a 3G service. Known as Digi.Tel, it employs equipment supplied by Nokia and will be gradually rolled out across the country. RCS/RDS is paying a total of $35 million (€26.5 million) for its 3G licence in instalments and will compete with services offered by Orange, Vodafone and Telemobil. Besides already having around 1.3 million cable subscribers, RCS/RDS also operates the highly successful DTH platform DigiTV, not just in Romania but also Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
