Talk:Orange Romania

I understand that encyclopedia articles are meant to be factual, but that does not mean omitting all facts that are not numerical or totally statistical. Things like it is "the second largest network after Connex GSM" is factual and is in no way a point of view. Also, saying that "Orange has the most coverage of the county" is confirmed, because it is TRUE that Orange Romania does have the most coverage. - Rronline

"Orange already has the biggest coverage of the country."

please give a reference. Both Orange and connex claim this. Bogdan | Talk 12:33, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Can't give a reference for this; so I agree not to keep it. On the other hand, can you give a reference which states that Connex is the largest operator and Orange comes second? I think Orange recently claimed having surpassed Connex in terms of number of subscribers. IulianU 13:30, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
What I found on the web is that at the end of August, connex had 4,370,000 subscribers and at the end of October, Orange had 4,371,000 subscribers. However, since the growth rate is something like 2%/month, Connex ought to be ahead. Bogdan | Talk 13:44, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The point is that the gap is too small to proclaim that either one or the other is "the biggest". Don't get me wrong, I'm not an Orange "fan". I just tend to stay away from statements like X is the YYYest, unless the evidence is clear-cut. Which is not the case here. This is why I prefer the phrasing 'Connex is one of the two largest ...' and the same for Orange. We could also add a mention that each of them holds an about equal market share. Please share your thoughts on this. IulianU 15:09, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Please update infos. There are more mobile-telecom companies in Romania. The public ones are Orange, Vodafone (former Connex), Zapp (first to introduce the 1900Mhz-band), Cosmote (from 2008). Thank you
