Kazaktelecom has many subsidiaries. As of December 8, 2023, there were 5 of them:
Kcell JSC is the largest mobile operator in Kazakhstan.
Mobile Telecom-Service LLP is a mobile operator created as a result of the merger of ALTEL JSC and Mobile Telecom-Service LLP.
Almatytelecom LLP is a fixed telephony and data transmission operator in Almaty.
Digital TV LLP is a digital television operator.
KT Cloud Lab LLP is a cloud services operator.
In addition, Kazaktelecom owns 100% of the shares of Khan Tengri Holding B.V., which is the parent company for ALTEL JSC and Mobile Telecom Service LLP.
Thus, Kazaktelecom is a vertically integrated company that owns and manages various telecommunications assets in Kazakhstan. Signs of oligopoly in the telecommunications market of Kazakhstan:
A small number of players: As mentioned earlier, there are only a few major players in the mobile market, among which Kazaktelecom occupies a leading position.
High barriers to entry: Entering the telecommunications market requires significant financial investments in infrastructure and technology. This limits competition and allows existing players to maintain high prices.
Non-price competition: In an oligopoly environment, companies often compete not so much with prices as with the quality of services, advertising and marketing.
Interdependence: Oligopolists are aware of their interdependence and often avoid a price war in order not to harm themselves and other market players.
Evidence of Kazaktelecom's market power:
High market share: According to data for 2023, Kazaktelecom controls about 55% of the mobile communications market in Kazakhstan.
The ability to influence prices: Kazaktelecom can set prices for its services without fear of a significant outflow of customers.
Customer loyalty: Kazaktelecom has a large base of loyal customers who have been using its services for many years.
Vertical integration: Kazaktelecom owns its own infrastructure, which gives it an advantage over competitors.
According to the public procurement portal of Kazakhstan, in 2023 Kazaktelecom concluded the following state contracts:
In the amount of more than 100 million tenge:
2023-02-01 - State Committee for Communications, Informatization and Information Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan - "Supply of technical means and services for the implementation of the project "State Integrated Information System "Electronic State"" - 1 243 574 200 tenge. There are a lot of people on state procurement there are a lot of state bodies
If you rate the building, then 4 out of 5 . If the service is 0 out of 10 . The service is not for customers. Template communication , at first they say one thing after the other . The Internet provided is of very poor quality. For relatively high money, the speed remains at the level of 5 years ago. No development . Just baking money . And the stupid monopolization of services . There is no competition .
