Abstract
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?
Sizings and forecasts of total spend, service and line penetration, and ASPS
(average spend per site) are presented for Western Europe as a whole, as well
