Germany - Broadband Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts
Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, Jan 2012, Pages: 42
Synopsis
Germany has the second largest broadband market in Europe. The dominant DSL platform is led by Deutsche Telekom which has invested in ADSL2+ and VDSL upgrades serving many urban areas. The greatly consolidated cable sector has responded with extensive DOCSIS 3.0 based 120Mb/s services which DSL cannot match. Faster broadband is creating demand for new bundled services while intense competition has seen prices fall dramatically. Lower charges for local loop unbundling imposed by the regulator should also help increase competition and lower prices further.
This report profiles Germany’s fixed and wireless broadband markets, together with forecasts to 2020 and an analysis of developments with related technologies such as fibre-to-the-home, powerline broadband, wireless broadband, WiFi and internet via satellite. It also examines Deutsche Telekom’s Next Generation Network and the regulatory issues relating to competitor access to new networks.
Key developments:
NGA Forum adopts framework policy on the interoperability of broadband networks; EC closes infringement case against German government for former legislation protecting DT in VDSL market; DT plans to form separate FttH division; Vodafone considers migrating DSL subscribers to its LTE network; KDG extends 100Mb/s DOCSIS 3.0 network to 6.9 million homes; Kabel BW to complete 200 fibre projects by end-2011; Liberty Global secures approval to acquire Kabel BW; DT agrees to lease fibre access from NetCologne; regulator’s market data for 2011, VATM market data for 2010 and update to September 2011; operator data to September 2011.
