Literature Review: Communication Infrastructure and Wireless Communication in Estonia

Kimberley Leahy

Florida State University, USA

Telecommunications is one of the fastest growing markets in Estonia. Of the three Baltic States, re-search has

shown that Estonia, while the smallest, has made by far the most successful foray into the wireless communication

arena. Economic and public policy within the former Soviet Union had left Balkan communication infrastructure in

disarray, and liberalization of the Estonian telecom sector was necessary for the country’s bid for EU membership.

This paper will discuss the literature addressing Es-tonia’s leap into twenty-first century communication

technology, with its savvy bypass of obsolete communication infrastructure paradigms inherited from the former

Soviet Union.
