Austria - Mobile Market - Overview & Statistics
Report
Austria’s mobile market is fiercely contested by four
network operators and a growing number of MVNOs and resellers.
The competitive environment has led to relatively low ARPU for
operators and some of Europe’s lowest tariffs for
consumers. The four 3G networks have seen impressive growth in
subscriber take-up, largely at the expense of existing GSM
offerings. The incumbent’s mobile division, mobilkom, has
expanded to Eastern Europe to incorporate lucrative neighbouring
markets. Mobile Internet has shown extraordinary growth in recent
years though mobile TV, reaching 50% of the population by August
2008, has yet to make a mark on consumers. This report examines
Austria’s mobile market, providing historical and
current subscriber statistics, an overview of key operators, an
analysis of emerging technologies and data services, and
forecasts for ARPU and 3G subscriber growth. See
report summary here.
