Prospects for Local Loop Unbundling and Bitstream in Central and Eastern Europe
Analysys Mason Group, March 2007
'In Central and Eastern Europe broadband has recently shown impressive growth, driven mainly by incumbents’ retail DSL offers. At the same time, regulators have increased the pressure on incumbents to open their networks. However, local loop unbundling may only be a short- to mid-term solution for altnets in the region – investment in local loop unbundling may not be a sustainable option for these operators in the long term.'
Raushan Sagalbayeva, Research Analyst
Although local loop unbundling (LLUB) and bitstream have been mandatory for several years in the majority of EU countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the effects of this regulation have been limited. The opportunities for alternative operators from LLUB and bitstream depend on the remaining regulatory hurdles being overcome quickly.
Prospects for Local Loop Unbundling and Bitstream in Central and Eastern Europe surveys the current commercial and regulatory status of LLUB and bitstream in CEE, identifies the forces that will drive the development of the broadband market in CEE and assesses the future value of LLUB for new players in the region. The report also draws out the main lessons to be learned from Western Europe’s experience with LLUB. A review of the current status of LLUB is provided for the ten countries in CEE that are members of the EU: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
