Research and Markets has announced the addition of Western European Fixed Telecoms: Market Sizings and Forecasts 2001-11 to their offering.
"There's a renewed confidence in much of the fixed-line services market as broadband penetration increases at impressively fast rates and promises the long-heralded convergence of telecoms and broadcasting. This success has come at a cost, however. The popularity of broadband has been fuelled by dramatic price erosion in basic access and, in turn, it encourages, through VoIP, accelerated contraction of voice revenues."
Western European Fixed Telecoms: Market Sizings and Forecasts 2001-11 analyses the key factors that are driving the fixed market in Western Europe, with a particular focus on the status of broadband, and includes a consideration of the potential impact of VoIP. It answers key questions such as:
- Which key trends are shaping the fixed telecoms markets in individual markets?
- Will spend on residential services continue to form a growing proportion of total spend on fixed telecoms?
- Can increasing spend on broadband services ever compensate for declines in other areas?
- How great are the drivers of fixed-mobile line substitution in individual markets?
- How will VoIP-driven competition affect average spend per site for fixed voice?
- How far could broadband penetrate the residential markets and what level of spend per household could be expected?
- What share of broadband spend can cable operators and other non-DSL broadband players hope to gain?
- Is growth or contraction of spend on individual services accelerating or slowing?
