The strong European broadband market has seen slower growth in 2008, particularly in highly penetrated markets such as the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Growth is still driven by competition and by regulatory measures to improve competitor access to local loops. Technological developments in both the cable and DSL platforms have extended broadband from its limited PC-based function to a main component of household entertainment through services such as Video-on-Demand and IPTV. Major operators have also offset their eroding voice telephony revenues by investing in IP services. The main growth driver remains DSL, followed by cable, though fibre has enjoyed an improving footprint in certain markets, notably Scandinavia, The Netherlands and Italy. Satellite Internet and wireless broadband retain a niche presence. This report presents statistics and analysis on Europe’s broadband market in 2008, including developments in ADSL, cable and fibre technologies, and noting the status of EU and government policies to encourage broadband take-up to the end of the decade.
