Broadband growth in Europe has
been substantial during the last few years. The region overtook
North America in 2005 to become the second largest broadband
market after Asia. By mid-2005 there were about 47 million
broadband subscribers in Europe. This growth – 72% on 2004
and 236% since 2002 – has been driven by intensifying
competition and by regulatory measures to improve competitor
access to local loops. The major operators have also offset their
eroding voice telephony revenues by investing in IP services. The
leading broadband markets in 2004 and 2005 were Belgium, The
Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, while the UK showed the fastest
growth. The main growth driver is xDSL, followed by cable. Fibre
has also had an improving footprint in certain markets, notably
Scandinavia and Italy. Satellite Internet and wireless broadband
have a niche presence, though the European Commission (EC) has
facilitated the use of WLANs for accessing public services, and
WiFi has been widely deployed in Europe. This report from Paul
Budde presents statistics and analysis on Europe’s
broadband market in 2005, including developments in ADSL, cable,
fibre and wireless technologies, and noting the status of EU and
government policies to encourage broadband take-up in 2006 and
2007. Get the complete

This report provides statistics
and analysis on the mobile phone market in Europe.
Individual countries are considered in the context of subscriber
numbers, mobile penetration, and market growth, though the focus
is on issues that are common to all countries in the region. The
report introduces the key legal issues relating to roaming and
interconnection, together with the status of analogue and digital
technologies. The key mobile operators across Europe are
profiled, including statistics on their customer base, financial
results and strategies for 2006. Europe’s mobile market continues
to grow despite market saturation - by mid-2007, about 22 of the
region’s markets had exceeded 100% penetration.
This annual report offers a wealth of information
on the Broadband and Convergence markets in Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova,
Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Serbia and Montenegro
(formerly Yugoslavia).
