Czech Republic Telecommunications Report Q4 2011
Business Monitor International, Aug 2011, Pages: 92
Business Monitor International's Czech Republic Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Czech Republic's telecommunications industry.
BMI’s Q411 Telecoms market report for the Czech Republic contains updates to mobile, ARPU, fixed-line and internet forecasts as well as analysis of new developments in the country’s telecoms industry. The analysis and forecasts are based on market data provided by fixed-line incumbent Telefónica O2, Deutsche Telekom-owned T-Mobile Czech Republic, Vodafone Czech Republic and cable operator UPC Czech Republic. The report also incorporates the latest data from the ITU for the fixed-line and internet markets relating to the end of December 2010.
The Czech mobile market contracted by 0.1% q-o-q during Q111 on the back of subscriber losses by Telefónica O2 and T-Mobile. The overall market decline in Q111, after two consecutive quarters of positive growth, supports the view that growth in the Czech mobile market will be sluggish going forward because of market saturation. Mobile penetration in the Czech Republic has largely remained flat during the past two years and is not expect to change significantly in the next five years. BMI forecast an average annual growth rate of 0.42% over the next five years, bringing the mobile subscriber base to just under 14mn or penetration rate of almost 132%.
With the saturation of the mobile voice segment, BMI expects operators to increase their focus on mobile broadband services and postpaid subscriptions to drive revenue growth. The three leading mobile operators invested heavily in their 3G networks during the first half of 2011 on projects to upgrade their networks speeds and expand coverage to underserved areas. The report expects such higher value services to have a positive impact on operators’ ARPU, which has come under increasing downward pressure from competition and cuts to mobile termination rates (MTR) in the voice segment.
Notable developments in the fixed-line and internet markets include Telefónica O2’s launch of its VDSL network to offer high-speed broadband services. BMI expects this to boost the operator’s competitiveness in the high value market for superfast broadband services dominated by cable operators using the Docsis 3.0 standard. In April 2011, UPC established its first datacentre in telehouse TTC Telekomunikace in Prague. The new facility has a capacity of 350m2, which can be extended further and uses a node with n x 10GB capacity to connect to the optical backbone route. Customers can choose from a wide variety of services provided at the datacentre, including server hosting, web hosting, managed servers, rack housing, cloud services, virtual servers and others.
