 Europe (Eastern) - Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband Overview and Analysis 2004
This report covers central, eastern and south Eastern Europe on a geographical basis and includes Greece. It gives an overview of the telecommunications market in the region. Fixed-line penetration levels are low and are declining in many countries due to mobile substitution. In contrast the mobile market is enjoying high growth across much of the region and very high penetration levels in the more developed markets. Internet penetration is low, mostly due to low incomes, but broadband connections are increasing.

Europe (Eastern) - Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband Overview and Analysis 2005
Much of Central, Eastern and south Eastern Europe are undergoing transformation due to requirements to join the European Union (EU) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Markets have been liberalised and incumbents privatised. The region's mobile market, once viewed as underdeveloped, has reached saturation in some countries and is growing rapidly in others. The impact of increased mobile usage is evident through fixed-line for mobile substitution. Fixed-line incumbents, faced with growing competition in liberalised markets and falling revenue from fixed-line to mobile substitution, are leveraging the reach of their networks and turning to broadband as a source of revenue growth. Mobile operators are also turning to data as saturated markets mean that they can no longer grow easily through acquiring new subscribers.

Europe (Western) - Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband Overview and Analysis 2004
The telecommunications market in Western Europe began to recover in 2003 after a steep decline, and near collapse of some major operators, in 2001-2002. 2003 also saw the arrival of the European Union's New Regulatory Framework, designed to further standardise and liberalise the regulatory environment for electronic communications among the member states of the EU. Countries which had not formally acceded to the EU, such as Switzerland, Norway and Iceland, passed new telecommunications legislation to remain in step with the general flow of regulation. 2003 also saw the beginning of a real acceleration in the pace of broadband adoption, with ADSL providing the bulk of growth as incumbents began to seriously push the service. Cable broadband continued to be significant, in particular as networks were slowly digitised. Other broadband options - particularly Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) - also achieved commercial prominence in some states in 2003 and 2004, looking set for further growth in 2005. Mobile growth continued to be the other main driver of the market, with subscriber numbers expanding and the deployment of the first commercial 3G services in 2003 and 2004.

Europe (Western) - Telecoms, Mobile & Broadband Overview and Analysis 2005
The European telecom market in 2005 has continued its recovery from the decline experienced in 2001 and 2002. Many of the major players which faced collapse have sold off peripheral businesses and concentrated on their core operations. The European Union's New Regulatory Framework (NRF), designed to standardise and liberalise the industry within the EU, has been supplemented by the eEurope 2005 and i2010 initiatives which encourage development in the broadband and telecom markets. Broadband adoption has grown sharply since 2003, with ADSL providing the bulk of access lines as incumbents have pushed the service in an effort to compensate for falling fixed voiced revenue. Digitised cable broadband networks pose an increasing challenge to incumbents by offering voice to their triple or double play packages. The data and mobile sectors have been the main drivers of the market. The majority of the EU15 countries have 100% mobile penetration, while 3G take-up has escalated. Converging media, based on triple play and fast ADSL or fibre, has also matured in many markets. This report presents data and analysis on the Western European telecom market in 2005, noting the principal developments and scenarios for further growth and movement in 2006 and beyond.

Europe - Broadband - Broadband over Power Line (BPL)
Europe has the second largest market for BPL networks in the world, with more than 200 million homes and businesses connected directly to utility networks, and thus potentially to broadband and telecommunications services through power cables. Trials have been conducted in several European countries to address technological and consumer issues. Despite a number of advantages, the technical and regulatory environment has thus far hampered large-scale BPL roll-outs, while technological developments in both the cable and DSL sectors have weakened the business case for BPL deployment. This report examines the business models for BPL in Europe in 2006, and provides an analysis of the technology's potential following the EC's moves towards lifting restrictive regulatory barriers, and the formalisation of standards earlier in the year. The report also reviews ongoing BPL trials and analyses existing deployments.
