Synopsis
Archived report. This report was archived in 2008 and has not been updated since. Europe has an advanced telecommunications network developed by the incumbents, while rival networks constructed since the 1980s have greatly expanded competition and innovation in ISDN, mobile telephony, data, cable TV and fibre networks. New technologies, such as wireless networks, power line communications, 3G mobile networks and satellite broadband are complemented by developments in Next Generation Networks (NGN) which provide a range of IP services such as Video-on-Demand (VoD), VoIP, and broadband TV. This report presents information, statistics and analysis on VoIP and NGNs in Europe during recent years.
