Croatia is getting its first MVNO, Telcro, which secured a network leasing contract with T-Mobile Hrvatska.
The company has reportedly secured funding from twenty investors, most of them from Croatia and some from the U.S., and has scheduled to launch its services during the summer of 2009.
In an interview with the local newspaper, Telcro’s Kresimir Profaca expressed his optimism for the new venture, despite the fact that Croatian market is being saturated with penetration level of 120%. However, thanks to multiple SIM ownership – the real penetration rate could be as low as 60%.
All in all, it will be interesting to watch how the first MVNO plays out in Croatia…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
