 Ireland - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
Ireland's broadband market is under-developed by European standards, although government efforts to improve local loop unbundling and wholesale access has meant that growth, albeit from a relatively low base, has been strong during the last two years. Low penetration has partly been due to high wholesale costs, lack of competition, high retail prices, and limited coverage in many non-urban areas. The proposed structural separation of eircom could have been a catalyst for rapid development in this market, but the global financial crisis affecting eircom's parent company, and its sale in November 2009, suspended further progress. This report profiles Ireland's fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2010, together with developments in related technologies such as FttH, powerline broadband, wireless and mobile broadband, WiFi and Internet via satellite. It also provides forecasts for broadband uptake to 2019.

Ireland - Convergence - Triple Play & Digital TV
Synopsis
The market for converged media and applications in Ireland has been hampered by poor broadband infrastructure. The position has become brighter since 2008 as the main cable operator UPC Ireland has upgraded its network, and as the incumbent eircom has invested in its NGN and expanded its bundled services offers. Nevertheless, convergence in Ireland continues to suffer from limited fibre deployment beyond a few greenfield sites. This report presents an overview of all these platforms and major service providers in 2010. It also notes the status of digital TV via the terrestrial, cable and satellite platforms, as well as interactive TV services.

Ireland - Key Statistics, Telecom Market & Regulatory Overviews
Synopsis
Ireland's telecom market has suffered from poor broadband uptake, underinvestment and mismanagement within some of the key operators. Eircom has perhaps suffered most from the financial crisis which hit the operator's parent company, as well as the government's reluctance to part-fund its network upgrade. Eircom's sale and indebtedness are compounded by recurrent difficulties at Smart Telecom. Overall telecom market revenue fell almost 12% in the year to September 2009, dragged down by a poorly performing mobile sector and continuing economic turmoil. This report provides statistics and analysis on the key sectors of the Irish telecom market in 2010, presenting an overview of the regulatory environment, fixed network operators and services, and telecom infrastructure.

Ireland - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
Ireland's mobile market has undergone considerable changes in recent years. The market remains dominated by a triopoly of service providers, all of which provide 3G services, but the entry of the first two MVNOs promises radical changes to market competition in coming years. Mobile broadband, on the back of expanding HSPA networks, has become very popular among consumers since the introduction of flat-rate data plans. The regulator has also announced its willingness to set aside UHF spectrum for possible use by mobile TV services from 2010. This report provides statistics and analysis on the Irish mobile market in 2010, including the key regulatory issues, a snapshot of the consumer market, emerging technologies, and the growth of mobile data services such as SMS and mobile TV.
