Follow on Google News | New Market Report Now Available: Finland Telecommunications Report Q3 2011Fast Market Research recommends "Finland Telecommunications Report Q3 2011" from Business Monitor International, now available
The fixed-line market contracted by 12.6% during 2010. There were 1.250mn lines in service at the end of the year, divided unevenly among five groups, all of which are local incumbent telephony operators. There is little room for alternative players, more so now that interest in unbundled local loops (ULLs) is waning and broadband customers are turning to mobile as a replacement platform. Data from the three principal fixed-line operators confirm the overall downward trend while the Finnet Group - which only discloses figures every six months or so - is rather evasive on this topic, not surprising considering it does not have a mobile business to which it can transfer fixed customers. The rate of decline was only a little slower than in 2009, suggesting Finland is likely to record the fastest rate of fixed-line contraction in Western Europe over the next five years. By the end of our forecast period in 2015 BMI believes the fixed-line market in Finland will reach a customer base of 1.032mn, resulting in a penetration rate of 18.9%. ------------------------------------------------------------ Full Report Details at - http://www.fastmr.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ There were almost 3.196mn fixed and mobile broadband subscribers at the end of 2010, representing a yo- y increase of 29.2% and a penetration rate of 59.7%. Mobile broadband is providing the real engine of growth in this field. We expect mobile broadband to continue to drive expansion in the Finnish broadband market over the next five years. BMI forecasts there will be 4.619mn fixed and mobile broadband subscribers by 2015, a penetration rate of 84.6%. The country's mobile network operators were hit hard in the 2008-2010 period by regulator-enforced traffic interconnection and termination rate reductions. Revenues from such services have historically fuelled financial growth for operators and reduced income means that they have to be more selective about the type of customer they serve while encouraging existing users to make more use of value-added services. This has yet to translate into ARPU growth, though we suspect non-voice services are actually rising. The downward trend weighs on Finland's comparative performance with respect to its business environment prospects from a telecoms perspective. Our latest analysis sees Finland slip slightly further down the ranks of Western Europe telecoms markets due to its small size and dispersed population, as well as the lingering after-effects of the recession. However, the mobile market grew strongly in 2010 and showed equally robust growth in Q111, despite market saturation. We believe this was achieved through aggressive price promotion and the ability of MVNOs to tackle those segments of the market typically bypassed by operators.
