Denmark - Key Statistics, Telecom Market & Regulatory Overviews

Synopsis

Denmark has a competitive telecom market, and enjoys the world’s highest broadband penetration rate. Its mobile sector has progressed with all four operators encouraging consumer take-up of data services on their upgraded HSPA networks. The fixed-line sector continues to contract, as more people forego fixed phones for VoIP and mobile-only solutions. This report introduces the key aspects of the Danish telecom market in 2009, presenting comprehensive data on the fixed network services sector and profiles of the major operators. It also analyses market statistics and assesses the key regulatory issues including interconnection, local loop unbundling, number portability and carrier preselection.
