 Bulgaria - Convergence, Broadband & Internet Market - Overview, Analysis & Forecasts
Synopsis
Broadband accounts for the majority of 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 although the number of major service providers is decreasing due to consolidation. Triple play services have been launched as ISPs launch VoIP and broadband TV (IPTV), while cable operators add telephony to existing video and broadband offerings. This report provides an insight into Bulgaria's burgeoning broadband and convergence market and an overview of the technologies, major players and market developments, as well as a variety of statistics and fixed broadband forecasts to 2018.

Bulgaria - Key Statistics, Regulatory & Fixed Line Telecoms Overviews
Synopsis
Bulgaria's fixed-line telecoms market has received a boost following the belated transposition of the EU's regulatory framework for communications which, in addition to other relatively recently introduced measures, are designed to improve competition. A number of alternative operators have launched services competing with fixed-line incumbent BTC, although with fixed line numbers in decline due to fixed mobile substitution the incumbent is turning its attention to broadband and convergence services. A healthy IT market is also present in Bulgaria, with future growth dependent on Bulgaria's overall economic growth as well as closer EU integration. This report provides an overview of Bulgaria's growing fixed-line telecom and IT markets, and includes information on regulatory developments, major operators and fixed line networks, as well as a variety of statistics and data.
