Greece - Convergence, Broadband & Internet Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts

Synopsis

Broadband penetration in Greece is improving following the incumbent’s promotion of services and improving competition based on regulatory mandated network access. Increasing broadband uptake and deployment of faster ADSL2+ networks has in turn supported the launch of convergence services such as broadband TV (IPTV). Triple play initiatives are being spearheaded by the telcos in the absence of cable TV operators. Digital TV services are commercially available via IPTV and satellite. An increase in Internet usage by the broader population is fostering an Internet society, with notable developments in the public administration (e-government) and health (e-health) sectors. Covering the aforementioned topics, this report offers an insight into Greece’s broadband and convergence market, presenting overviews of key technologies and market developments, a range of data, and broadband forecasts to 2018.
