Denmark - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and Regulatory Overviews

Synopsis

Denmark has a competitive telecom market, and enjoys Europe’s highest broadband penetration rate. Its mobile sector has progressed with all four operators encouraging consumer uptake of data services on upgraded HSPA networks, while recent auctions for 2.6GHz spectrum have paved the way for network operators to deploy mobile broadband services based on LTE.
