Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of government regulation on the mobile communications market in the Kyrgyz Republic. By 2011, mobile penetration in the Kyrgyz Republic exceeded 100% and reached a peak of 130% over the next 5 years (NSC, 2025). Weak government control over the distribution and registration of SIM cards among the population has led to increased risks of fraud, cybercrime, organized crime, and significantly increased operating costs for mobile communications market participants.

The study developed a multivariate regression model to determine the degree of influence of various factors including a range of government measures related to regulation of the cellular communications industry over the past decades.
