Austria - Broadband Market - Overview, Analysis & Forecasts

Synopsis

The Austrian broadband market is dominated by the DSL sector, which rapidly overtook cable as the preferred access method. UPC Austria is the leading cable operator, while Telekom Austria, partly through its early reluctance to co-operate with local loop unbundling, retains a leading share of the DSL market. This report provides data and analysis on the broadband market and public data services in Austria in 2010, including technologies such as xDSL, leased lines, cable modems, FttH, powerline broadband, WiFi and Internet via satellite. The report also profiles of some of the key providers, and provides forecasts for broadband penetration to 2019.
