Ratkoceri, Jakup (author), Batagelj, Boštjan (author)

The existing fiber-based optical access technologies in the Republic of Kosovo are reviewed in this article. A historical background to the wireline technologies is provided with the focus on fiber-based technologies. This is combined with a description of the current deployments and the future prospects for fiber-based optical access technologies. In addition, the market share in the Kosovan telecommunications market is presented. The leading telecom companies are described as well as the impact that competition, government, and the regulatory authority have on Kosovo’s wireline market.
