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

Synopsis

Slovakia’s Internet market is undergoing a transition as users migrate from narrowband to broadband access platforms due to increasing affordability of cable, ADSL2+, fibre access and wireless broadband. Broadband is being sold as a platform through which telecom operators hope to sell additional services, such as broadband TV (IPTV), in addition to slowing the fall of fixed lines. Riding on this trend is development of Slovakia’s Internet economy, which has received substantial EU funding to develop and improve access to e-government services. Digital terrestrial TV developments are underway, with three multiplexes to be launched by 2013. This report profiles Slovakia’s broadband, convergence and broadcasting markets in 2009, providing an overview of major players, numerous statistics and fixed broadband take up forecasts to 2019.
