Infrastructure / Service Management Model

55 contracts with different operators

• Next to nation-wide operators, small market players expand their business and attract new markets in rural regions of Lithuania by using RAIN network.

• Small operators connect one village to another and provide services to local communities and business. Small operators keep their hands on pulse of every local community, thus small operators are ready to offer and provide last mile services which satisfy local needs.

• RAIN and PRIP networks help not only local communities and business to be more digital, but also encourages operators to be more active, competitive, and enterprising.

• Public network encourages operators to invest and provide high quality services in rural areas.
