Broad incumbents

• Telekom Slovenije: Slovenian incumbent operator offering mobile, fixed and IPTV. Comparable as a full-service regional incumbent with similar converged offering, scale tier and regulatory environment.
• Telekom Srbija: Largest telecom operator in Serbia and parent/anchor of the mtel group that includes M:tel Montenegro. Comparable on full-stack telecom business model, convergent bundles and group-level strategic direction.
• Hrvatski Telekom: Croatian incumbent and majority owner of Crnogorski Telekom. Comparable as a Deutsche Telekom-backed converged operator in the broader Adriatic region; relevant because it sets the strategic template for M:tel's main local rival.

• Telemach Slovenia: Slovenian converged operator (mobile, fixed, TV) and part of the United Group. Comparable on quad-play bundling, OTT TV strategy and Western Balkans-adjacent footprint.
• BH Telecom: Incumbent telecom operator of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Comparable as a regional full-service operator (mobile, fixed, internet, IPTV) in a neighboring Western Balkan market with similar regulatory and competitive dynamics.

Direct peers

• Crnogorski Telekom: Montenegro's incumbent fixed-line operator and second-largest mobile operator, backed by Deutsche Telekom / Hrvatski Telekom. Directly competes with M:tel in mobile, fixed, internet and TV across the same converged bundles.
• mtel (Bosnia and Herzegovina): Sister operator within the same mtel / Telekom Srbija group, offering mobile, fixed, internet and TV in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Closely comparable on product naming (Urban MOVE, m:BOX), business model and group strategy.
