San Marino is The Most Serene
Republic of San Marino, or in Italian: Serenissima Repubblica di
San Marino, is one of the smallest nations in the world. Located
in southern Europe, it is an enclave of Italy, and is one of the
European microstates. San Marino is often claimed to be the
oldest republic in the world. Although San Marino is not an
official European Union member, it is allowed to use the euro as
its currency by virtue of arrangements with the council of the
European Union; it is also granted the right to use its own
designs on the national side of the euro coins. The tourist
sector contributes over 50% of San Marino's GDP, with more than
3.3 million tourists visiting in 1997. Other key industries are
banking, electronics, and ceramics. The main agricultural
products are wine and cheese.

European
Telecommunications Market Reports
Europe (Western) -
Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband Overview and Analysis
Report
The telecommunications market in Western Europe began to recover in
2003 after a steep decline, and near collapse of some major operators,
in 2001-2002. 2003 also saw the arrival of the European Union’s
New Regulatory Framework, designed to further standardise and liberalise
the regulatory environment for electronic communications among the member
states of the EU. Countries which had not formally acceded to the EU, such
as Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, passed new telecommunications legislation
to remain in step with the general flow of regulation. 2003 also saw the
beginning of a real acceleration in the pace of broadband adoption, with ADSL
providing the bulk of growth as incumbents began to seriously push the service.
Cable broadband continued to be significant, in particular as networks were
slowly digitised. Other broadband options – particularly Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH)
– also achieved commercial prominence in some states in 2003 and 2004, looking
set for further growth in 2005. Mobile growth continued to be the other main
driver of the market, with subscriber numbers expanding and the deployment of
the first commercial 3G services in 2003 and 2004. See table of
contents and report summary.
