Azerbaijan enjoys 32% mobile penetration, currently growing at 54% per annum. Rapid growth led to the Government issuing two new licenses ahead of schedule in late 2005, and with 4 mobile operators now competing for business the growth in 3G coverage and added value services is explosive.

Azerbaijan boasts a stable international profile with significant strategic investments underway in both oil and telecommunications sectors.
“The more we work in the region the more impressed we air by its air of optimism”, commented CEO Martin Browne. “This is a market where i-conX is well-placed to make a difference, and we predict a great future for the region as a whole”.
