Industrial panorama of 21 European countries (market, regulation, industrial
 

 
structure) and strategies of the 63 leading operators at the advent of broadband.

 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 
• Summary:

 

 


 

 
- the market's dynamic (1998-2001), by segment (fixed, mobile, data, Internet…).

 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 
• Profiles by country:

 

 


 

 
- the markets' evolution, notably by segment (1998-2001);

 

 


 

 
- regulatory and competitive landscape.

 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 
• Operator profiles:

 

 


 

 
- Operator’s incumbent;

 

 


 

 
- leading new entrants' strategies (pan-European networks, internationalisation
 

 
and alliances, key figures).• Renewed growth thanks to highly dynamic market
 

 
segments:

 

 


 

 
- the mobile market grew by 67.8% in 1999 (in terms of subscribers) and is continuing
 

 
this growth with a 25.8% increase during the first half of 2000.

 

 

 

 

- Internet activities are now proving to be a powerful vehicle for growth for
 

 
national operators and are accounting for a growing share of revenues: the introduction
 

 
of Internet subsidiaries on the stock market is proliferating (e.g. T-Online,
 

 
Wanadoo, etc.).

 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 
• Backbones and access offerings (fixed and mobile) are multiplying,
 

 
generating new competition in the sector and giving rise to a race for high-speed
 

 
access:

 

 


 

 
- deployment of pan-European backbones is as much a concern for specialised
 

 
players (Level (3), COLT, GTS, etc.) as for incumbent operators (BT, France
 

 
Telecom, Deutsche Telecom, etc.)

 

 


 

 
- a reshuffling of the cards as cable networks are sold by national operators
 

 
has resulted in consolidation in this sector. Not only in the United Kingdom
 

 
but also in continental Europe, especially with the increasing presence of UPC
 

 


 

 


 

 
- the first DSL services are being launched, while unbundling is slowly being
 

 
implemented

 

 


 

 
- wireless local loop licences are in the process of being allocated (Germany,
 

 
Spain, France)

 

 


 

 
- the battle raging around UMTS licences has, in certain cases (United Kingdom
 

 
and Germany), given rise to record high-auction bids.

 

 


 

 


 

 


 

 
• Consolidation among major players in the sector through numerous
 

 
merger moves:

 

 


 

 
- in national markets (ENEL , the major shareholder in Wind, takes control of
 

 
Infostrada)

 

 


 

 
- in the pan-European market, particularly in the mobile sector (Vodafone-Mannesmann,
 

 
France Telecom-Orange, etc.).
