 France - Broadband Market - Overview Statistics & Forecasts
France has the third largest broadband subscriber base in Europe. Growth in 2007 was bolstered by demand for high bandwidth applications, considerable investment in fibre infrastructure, and a pro-competitive regulator which has provided easy access to the incumbent's network for new entrants through Local Loop Unbundling. DSL dominates broadband access, partly as a result of the relatively poor cable footprint, while fibre deployment has become a substantial proposition, particularly in the Paris region. This report assesses France's fixed broadband markets in 2008, focussing on cable and DSL as well as developments with related technologies such as ADSL2+, VDSL2. It provides the latest statistics and analysis in this important market, and reviews the strategies of the principal providers such as France Telecom, UPC France, Telecom Italia, Iliad and neuf Cegetel. The report also considers the regulatory implications for local loop unbundling and provides forecasts for broadband penetration to 2017.

France - Key Statistics Telecom Market & Regulatory Overviews
France has one of the largest and most advanced telecoms markets in Europe. The incumbent, France Telecom, still dominates all sectors but increasing competition from a small number of major players (notably Neuf Cegetel and Iliad) has eroded this lead. The company has responded with developing its NeXT strategy to meet customer needs in coming years, and has begun to invest in a national fibre network. The mobile market is dominated by a triopoly of providers with relatively low MVNO competition, but the vibrant broadband market has seen strong growth, bolstered by easy competitor access to exchanges through Local Loop Unbundling. This report introduces the key aspects of France's telecom market in 2008, providing the latest statistics on the country's fixed network and the implications for the incumbent's NeXT strategy to the end of the decade. It profiles the major operators and reviews the key regulatory issues including the status of number portability, wholesaling and carrier preselection.
