Netherlands - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis Dutch broadband penetration is one of the highest in the world, the result of large-scale government and municipal investment in broadband infrastructure. The country has comprehensive DSL and cable networks, and has expanded both ADSL2+ Ethernet capabilities to provide data rates to manage burgeoning customer demand for triple play services. In addition, the number of significant fibre deployments represents one of the most extensive and cost-effective fibre infrastructures in Europe. The largely consolidated cable sector, led by Ziggo and UPC Nederland, is countering fibre deployments by introducing EuroDOCSIS 3.0 technology. In this report we profile the Dutch fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2010, providing statistics and analysis on technologies including ADSL2+, FttH, powerline broadband, wireless broadband, WiFi and Internet via satellite. We also provide broadband forecasts through to 2019.

Netherlands - Fibre-to-the-Home Developments
Synopsis Dutch broadband penetration is among the highest in the world, the result of government and municipal investment in broadband infrastructure together with a range of local initiatives. The country's comprehensive DSL and cable networks have thus been supplemented with wide-scale fibre deployment: financial commitments from KPN/Reggefiber, BBned and municipalities have pushed the Netherlands to the forefront of fibre infrastructure in Europe. KPN's decision to deliver FttH nationally within the next few years will further consolidate this lead, helping to place the country as the regional benchmark against which other European operators and regulators will be assessed. This report analyses fibre deployments in the Netherlands in 2010, including regulatory developments and operator strategies for coming years.

Netherlands - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis The Netherlands has continued to show growth in the mobile sector despite the country's high penetration rate. In common with other advanced European markets, the 3G sector is the main driver for subscriber growth, though there remains little consumer enthusiasm for the take-up of high-end data services. KPN launched Europe's first national mobile TV network in June 2008, capitalising on its recent network upgrades. Following the acquisition of Orange by T-Mobile in late 2007 there are only three network operators in the market. All provide wholesale services to MVNOs and resellers, and having reached 90% population coverage on their 3G networks they have focussed on HSPA infrastructure as a basis for developing mobile data services. This report provides statistics and analyses on the Dutch mobile market in 2010, including a review of the key operators and regulatory issues. It also assesses emerging mobile data services such as mobile TV, and provides ARPU and 3G forecasts to 2015.
