DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c90829) has announced the addition of "Croatia - Mobile, Mobile Content & Applications Overview & Statistics" to their offering.

Croatia's mobile market is one of the most highly penetrated in the Balkans region. Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) have commenced services adding to the already present competition provided by a recently established third mobile network operator. With the mobile voice market at near saturation levels, the established mobile network operators have focused on improving ARPU levels by encouraging prepaid subscribers to migrate to post-paid plans as well as encouraging spending on mobile data/content services.

Third Generation (3G) and High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services have been launched and statistics suggest the mobile data market has reached critical mass and is entering a significant growth phase, an observation reinforced by news of the late-2007 launch of mobile VoIP services by one of the established mobile network operators. This report offers a concise overview the country's mobile market, including a variety of financial and performance statistics on the service providers, networks and services offered.
