Germany - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses
LONDON, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Download the full report: https://www.reportbuyer.com/product/5220294
Both the fixed network and broadband markets are dominated by Telekom Deutschland, though other notable players include freenet, Vodafone and Telefónica.
The mobile market is also the largest in Europe. In common with most developed markets, the main driver for growth is in mobile data, with the number of mobile broadband subscribers having increased rapidly in recent years on the back of universally available 3G infrastructure and an extensive reach of LTE networks. Operators have invested in MIMO and carrier aggregation technologies to provide improved data rates on their networks. Looking forward, there is also increasing activity in 5G, with Telekom intending to provide 5G across its networks from 2020, and Telefónica Germany also active in deploying a 5G-antenna solution.
Although the mobile market is dominated by the three MNOs Telefónica Germany, Telekom and Vodafone Germany, there is effective competition from a large number of resellers and MVNOs. This has placed pressure on voice and data tariffs, resulting in lower ARPU. Regulatory pressure on roaming charges and mobile termination rates have also eroded operator revenue, and encouraged them to step-up their development of data applications to improve profits.
GermanyâEUR(TM)s broadband market has been among the more progressive in the pursuit of FttP and G.fast deployments. The dominant DSL platform is led by Telekom Deutschland, which continues to invest in network upgrades with a focus on fibre and vectoring VDSL. This strategy is aimed at competing with cablcos which are themselves investing in DOCSIS3.1 technology, as also at reaching broadband targets by 2020 and the more ambitious aim of creating a gigabit Germany by 2025.
This report examines key aspects of the German telecom market, providing data on the major operators, the fixed network infrastructure and regulatory developments including the status of interconnection, local loop unbundling, number portability, and carrier preselection.
