 Finland - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Finland has a small but an advanced telecom market that has been an early adopter of technologies. The national incumbent, Sonera, maintained its dominance of data and telephony infrastructure and service after its privatisation, leading the field in business data communications, Internet and broadband services. Broadband penetration in early 2007 was far ahead of the EU average, though the country's take-up of new fixed-line technologies such as DSL has been fragmented, with very different regional experiences. Finland has an extensive cable network in urban areas, and also a limited WLAN and broadband powerline presence. This report profiles Finland's fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2007, together with developments in related technologies such as FttH, powerline broadband, wireless broadband, WiFi and Internet via satellite.

Finland - Mobile Market - Overview & Statistics
Finland has one of most mature mobile markets in Europe, with overall penetration rates in early 2007 above the EU average. Annualised growth continues to be strong. Fierce competition and a tough regulatory environment have created a difficult market for mobile operators. The country has the third lowest mobile call charges of all member states, behind only Denmark and Luxemburg. The merger of Telia and Sonera in 2002 reduced the number of competitors, since Telia in consequence relinquished its Finnish mobile business, and in late 2005 Tele2 also withdrew. Finland undertook Europe's first and cheapest 3G licence auctions in 1999, and 3G mobile networks have come online for commercial use. This report provides statistics and research on the Finnish mobile market in 2007, including the key regulatory issues, a snapshot of the consumer market, the growth of mobile data services such as SMS and the development of emerging technologies.
