Germany - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis Germany has the second largest broadband market in Europe. The dominant DSL platform is led by Deutsche Telekom which has invested in ADSL2+ and VDSL upgrades serving many urban areas. The greatly consolidated cable sector has responded with extensive DOCSIS 3.0 based 120Mb/s services which DSL cannot match. Faster broadband is creating demand for new bundled services while intense competition has seen prices fall dramatically. Lower charges for local loop unbundling imposed by the regulator should also help increase competition and lower prices further. This report profiles Germany's fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2010, together with forecasts to 2020 and an analysis of developments with related technologies such as fibre-to-the-home, powerline broadband, wireless broadband, WiFi and Internet via satellite. It also examines Deutsche Telekom's Next Generation Network and the regulatory issues relating to competitor access to new networks.

Germany - Convergence - Triple Play & Digital TV
Synopsis Germany's triple play and digital TV market has grown strongly on the back of excellent DSL and cable infrastructure. Digital TV has undergone regulatory and licensing processes, and successful roll-outs will have extended the service to about 90% of the population by the end of 2009. Digital dividend spectrum, released from analogue switch-off, promises bandwidth which can be used for advanced wireless services extending and enhancing the reach of converging media. A number of operators, led by Deutsche Telekom, have invested in VDSL deployments to meet consumer needs for converged applications, while the consolidated cable operators have invested in upgrading their networks to 860MHz capacity as well as in DOCSIS 3.0 technology providing data at up to 100Mb/s. In this report we provide an overview of convergence in Germany in 2010, including recent developments in VoD, triple play and VoIP services, together with an overview of the digital and satellite TV markets.

Germany - Mobile Market - Mobile Data Services & Forecasts
Synopsis The German mobile data market has enormous potential for growth following massive investments by the four network operators in upgrading networks to support mobile data services. The regulator has anticipated future growth by preparing for fresh UMTS licences in 2009 in the 1.8GHz and 2.6GHz bands, as well as refarming spectrum below 1GHz for use by mobile broadband. Operators have fast-tracked the development of data-rich applications to improve profit margins as voice ARPU continues to fall in response to competition from resellers and regulatory measures on roaming and termination rates. Mobile TV has not yet caught the public imagination: the national DVB-H licence holder Mobile 3.0 withdrew services soon after launch, partly sabotaged by network operators having introduced handsets allowing users to access free-to-air DVB-T channels. This report provides key statistics and analysis on the mobile data market in Germany in 2010. It focuses on 3G services and assesses the range of advanced mobile data services and technologies such as mobile TV, HSPA, LTE and video over mobile.

In common with most markets the main area of growth is in the 3G sector. The market is dominated by T-Mobile and Vodafone, though an increasing number of resellers has fuelled competition and placed pressure on tariffs, resulting in lower ARPU. Regulatory pressure on voice roaming as well as termination rates from April 2009 will encouraged operators to further step-up their development of data applications to improve profits. In this report we provide key statistics and analysis on the mobile market in Germany in 2010, including an overview of the main operators together with 3G subscriber and mobile ARPU forecasts to 2015.
