Broadband penetration in
· A healthy wholesale market is developing, with the number of unbundled local lines rising 72% in the year to June 2009. The incumbent continues to struggle in the face of competition, characterised by stagnant growth in both top-line revenue and bottom-line profit. Resistance to developing the wholesale market led the regulator to commence functional separation proceedings in early 2009, with the number of unbundled and share-lines expected to surpass one million moving into 2010.
· Broadband represents the majority of Internet connections. The incumbent dominates the broadband market through its DSL products. Competition is predominantly based on wholesale offerings and is improving due to the wholesale market. An ambitious plan to deploy a carrier-neutral FttH network connecting two-million homes by 2016 has been revealed by the government.
· Digital TV is available via satellite, broadband TV (IPTV) and digital terrestrial TV. Lack of existing cable TV services and low satellite TV penetration offers a substantial growth opportunity for broadband ISPs as the broadband Internet access market matures.
