Germany Telecommunications
Market Reports
Germany Broadband Market -
Overview & Statistics report
Germany has the second largest Internet and broadband market
in Europe. Unmetered access products and faster broadband
services are fuelling continued growth. The ubiquity of Deutsche
Telekom’s copper network is almost matched by the
country’s cable TV networks. Nevertheless, the
country’s broadband penetration trails behind most of
Europe, and is far below the EU15 average. This report profiles
Germany’s fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2005 and
early 2006, together with developments with related technologies
such as FttH, powerline broadband, wireless broadband, WiFi and
Internet via satellite. Get the complete
report
Germany Convergence -
Triple Play & Digital TV report
Germany has the second highest number of broadband subscribers
in Europe. The country’s ubiquitous DSL network is matched
by an extensive cable infrastructure which passes more than 36
million homes. The broadcast sector is characterised by cable
networks and a high number of FTA channels, which have hampered
the development of pay TV. Digital TV has undergone regulatory
and licensing processes, and successful roll-outs at the end of
2004 have been extended to the Leipzig/Halle and Erfurt/Weimar
regions in 2005. Analogue switch-off is scheduled for 2010. This
report provides an overview of Germany’s broadband market
in 2005 and early 2006 and moves towards media convergence,
including recent developments in Video-on-Demand (VoD), triple
play and VoIP services, together with an overview of the digital
and satellite TV markets. See report table of
content.
Germany Key Statistics,
Telecom Market & Regulatory Overviews
Germany has Europe’s largest telecommunications
market. Internet use is higher that the EU average, though
broadband and mobile penetration lags far behind. Both the fixed
network and services markets in Germany are dominated by Deutsche
Telekom and Mannesmann Arcor. Other notable players include
MobilCom, BT Global Services and debitel. Standard telephony
services are provided by around 240 operators in Germany. The
incumbent still looms large in all call markets, but its share
has fallen considerably in the long-distance and international
segments. This report introduces the key aspects of the German
telecom market in 2005 and early 2006. Comprehensive data is
provided on the country’s fixed network, Internet,
broadband, mobile and broadcasting sectors. In addition to
valuable statistics, the report overviews the key regulatory
issues, the status of interconnection, Local Loop Unbundling
(LLU), number portability, carrier preselection and the Universal
Service Obligation (USO). It also profiles the major operators
and telecoms infrastructure. Get the complete
report
Germany Mobile Market -
Overview & Statistics
The German mobile market is the largest in Europe, and
although the country saw strong growth in 2004 and 2005, mobile
penetration remains below the European Union (EU) average.
Despite the dominance of the four main operators, further growth
in 2006 will be fuelled by increasing competition from MVNOs and
by the introduction of more 3G services. This report covers the
mobile market in Germany in 2005 and early 2006, focusing on GSM,
GPRS and 3G services and providing an overview of the main
operators, mobile data services and emerging technologies such as
mobile TV. Get the full report
