Cuneyt Turktan to be replaced?

Cuneyt Turktan, the chief executive of Telemobil, the operator of the mobile telephony service Zapp, could be replaced from his position over the coming weeks, sources close to the situation told MEDIAFAX. “Telemobil will probably be headed by the current chief financial officer Piermario Di Pietro,” the sources stated. Turktan was appointed chief executive of Telemobil in April 2002, when he replaced the man who supervised the relaunch of the operator, Diwaker Singh. Turktan”s departure could complete a process of replacement of top managers seen at the other mobile telephony operators on the domestic market. Bernard Moscheni was replaced at the helm of Orange Romania in September 2004, with the position taken over by Richard Moat. Moscheni became the head of Mobistar Belgium. Ted Lattimore handed over his MobiFon-Connex president position to Liliana Solomon on November 1, 2005, after six years during which he ran the company. The change was prompted by the takeover of the operator by the British Vodafone group. As for Cosmote Romania, the former Cosmorom, Nikolaos Tsolas took the reigns from Spyridon Spyropoulos several months ago. Launched in December 2001 by Telemobil, the mobile telephony service Zapp is based on the 450 MHz CDMA technology. The operator ended 2004 with 93 million-dollar turnover and made operating income for the first time since the launch of the Zapp services in December 2001. ZF
