"These areas are called blank areas as operators did not invest in developing telecom networks, invoking profit issues. After several auctions, we are confident operators will start investments in developing networks to cover these areas mid next year," Fecioru said during the conference Mediafax talks about Telecom Industry.

Fecioru added the financial aid is not enough to cover all blank areas.

"What matters is that the European Commission representatives agreed on granting the country this aid scheme," Fecioru said.
