On the regulatory front, the Telecommunications Authority recently provided an

indication that the granting of third generation (3G) licenses and topics such as

Mobile Number Portability (MNP), as well as the access of Mobile Virtual Network

Operators (MVNO) in our market, will be among their agenda items. Although there is

currently not enough clarity on the exact timing or the process by which the 3G

licenses will be awarded in Turkey, it is expected to take place sometime in 2006 as

per Telecommunications Authority's statements. Currently, details of the MNP

regulation are yet to be published by the Telecommunications Authority clarifying

issues such as the method of portability and the management of related

infrastructure. The details of the regulation and business model that may be applied

to MVNO's also remain unclear. Furthermore, a Draft Electronic Communication Law

is in progress and awaiting approval from the Parliament. In its current form, the draft

law grants expanded powers to the Telecommunication Authority and increases the

obligations of the operators.We will continue to monitor developments on the regulatory front closely.
