Bulgaria - Digital Economy and Broadband Markets - Insights, Statistics and Forecasts
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, Aug 2011, Pages: 15
Broadband represents nearly all Internet connections in Bulgaria, with healthy competition due to the number of competing technology platforms used to offer broadband access: DSL, cable, FttX, WiMAX and LAN-based micro ISPs. Recognising the potential of applying ICT to improve both social and economic development, Bulgaria has undertaken steps to develop an Internet society encompassing commerce, health and government services. Cable TV penetration is well above the EU average and the market has undergone considerable consolidation. Digital TV is also widely available via broadband TV and satellite, with the number of competing platforms increasing following the launch of services by the telecoms incumbent. This report provides an insight into Bulgaria’s burgeoning broadband and digital media markets in 2011 and an overview of the technologies, major players and market developments, as well as a variety of statistics and fixed broadband forecasts to 2020.
