Portugal Telecommunications
Market Reports
Portugal - Broadband
Market Overview & Statistics report
Portugal’s Internet penetration in early 2006 is high
even by European standards. Broadband take-up is also
considerably above the European Union (EU) average, thanks to a
capable and robust regulator. Both cable and DSL are well
represented, though the growth in DSL has comfortably outstripped
cable since 2005. The incumbent, Portugal Telecom, and its
subsidiaries control most of the DSL market, but new regulatory
provisions in mid-2005 have granted easier and cheaper access for
alternative ISPs. Portugal Telecom has reclassified its broadband
offers, with the focus on increasing speed, while the regulator
has encouraged wholesale access at bandwidths capable of
delivering IPTV. This Paul Budde report profiles Portugal’s
fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2005 and early 2006,
providing key statistics on the retail and wholesale sectors, as
well development in wireless broadband. See the table of

Overview & Statistics
Portugal has a mid-sized but advanced mobile market. Mobile

networks operating by mid-2004. In August 2005 the regulator
began to examine the effectiveness of competition provided by
MVNOs. This report profiles Portugal’s mobile market in
2005 and early 2006, providing statistics on the main operators,
and including a review of the key regulatory issues, a snapshot
of the consumer market, and the growth of mobile data services
