In 2004 the SCM Group made a strategic decision to enter the fast growing and emerging Ukrainian high technology market. The precondition for the decision was the presence of SCM’s Astelit (Life:) operator on the mobile communications market.

In 2005-2006 SCM Group expanded its presence on the communications market by acquiring “Farlep” and “Optima Telecom” Groups, which provide fixed line communications services.

The decision to enter this segment of the telecommunication business in the capacity of a strategic investor was governed by the fact that this is a fast growing market in Ukraine and it has huge investment potential.

At present the SCM Group is the owner of assets both in mobile and fixed line communication sectors.
