Slovenia - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and Regulatory Overviews

Synopsis

Slovenia’s communications market is dominated by the fixed-line incumbent, which is still majority owned by the state. Regulatory intervention has improved market conditions for competitors, with network interconnection rates now below the EU average and LLU monthly fees based on regulator-approved pricing models trending downwards. As a consequence the wholesale market is improving as evident by the increasing number of unbundled local loops. In response to competition Telekom Slovenije has followed the path of many Western European incumbents and expanded internationally, focusing predominantly on the Balkans region. This report offers a variety of insightful statistics and a concise overview of Slovenia’s fixed-line telecoms market, covering the major players, regulatory developments and fixed-line infrastructure.

Key developments:

Telekom Slovenije’s mobile subsidiary merges into parent company; sharp rise in VoIP connection as PSTN declines; telecoms sector investment recovers from economic downturn; regulator’s 2010 market report and Q1 2011 updates; operator data to Q1 2011.

Companies covered in this report include:

Telekom Slovenije, AMIS Telekom, T-2.
