Romania's telecom market moved to year-on-year growth of under 10 percent in Q2, thanks to increased sales of smartphones, writes local business newspaper Ziarul Financiar citing a study by Gfk Temax Romania. The IT sector recorded growth of 27.5 percent in Q2 in value terms compared to same period last year, as consumers started to see IT products more as mandatory accessories rather than occasional purchases. This shift in consumer perception is explained by consumers' growing need to have internet access for a variety of activities, according Telecompaper.
