Government Initiatives Will Boost Broadband Growth in Central & Eastern Europe
Pyramid Research, Inc., March 2010, Pages: 19
Uptake of fixed and mobile broadband services will grow at a compound annual rate of 20 percent in Central and Eastern Europe through 2014 as governments roll out more aggressive Internet connectivity policies in the wake of new guidelines covering expansion of telecom services, according to a new report from the author.
Government Initiatives Will Boost Broadband Growth in Central & Eastern Europe analyzes government-led initiatives to stimulate broadband adoption across Eastern, Central, and Western Europe. The 19-page report examines the likely effects of recent regulatory changes and look at initiatives that have broadband growth at heart. Specific developments in four case studies are examined: Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal, and Russia.
Last November, the EU Parliament adopted a package of telecom proposals not only to strengthen the power of telecom regulators, but also to guide its member states on how to propel broadband growth via targeted investments and spectrum awards, notes Sylwia Boguszewska, analyst at Pyramid Research and author of the report. 'Pyramid expects that the numbers of personal computers in CEE will grow at a CAGR of 13 percent through 2014, while growth in Western Europe will be much slower: 5 percent. As a result, we forecast that PC penetration in CEE will come to 51 percent of the population by 2014, up from 12 percent in 2004.'
'This is due not only to there being more room for organic growth in CEE because of the lower broadband penetration there, but also to governments increasingly focusing on bringing Internet connectivity to a wider public,' Boguszewska explains. 'In addition, the European Economic Recovery Plan aims to boost investment in predefined strategic sectors, including by contributing to broadband network expansion in rural areas of EU member countries in CEE,' she adds. 'More affordable laptop and netbook bundles will also play a part in enabling broadband growth.'
