Research and Markets: Portugal Mobile and Fixed Telecommunications Report 2014: Fiber Broadband Presents the Most Attractive Opportunity for Telecom Operators
DUBLIN --(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t3l2hh/portugal_fiber)
has announced the addition of the "Portugal:
Fiber Broadband Presents the Most Attractive Opportunity for Telecom
Operators" report to their offering.
Portugal: Fiber Broadband Presents the Most Attractive Opportunity for
Telecom Operators,' a new Country Intelligence Report by the author,
offers a precise, incisive profile of Portugal's mobile and fixed
telecommunications based on comprehensive proprietary data and insights
from our research in the Portuguese market. Published annually, this
presentation-quality, executive-level report provides detailed analysis
of the near-term opportunities, competitive dynamics and evolution of
demand by service type, technology and platform across the fixed
telephony, broadband and mobile sectors, in addition to a review of key
regulatory trends.
Key Findings
-
The fixed broadband segment, fueled by adoption of next-generation
networks (NGNs), is he most important driver for growth.
Historically, Portugal has had low take-up of fixed broadband.
Nonetheless, the country fares better than the average in the region
when it comes to NGN technologies capable of providing at least
30Mbps. We expect the growth of fiber-based broadband to remain strong
over the forecast period, helping Portugal reduce the broadband
penetration gap with the major regional markets.
-
The fixed/mobile revenue split will be inclined toward mobile
services. Despite the growth of fixed broadband, demand for fixed
services is affected negatively by declining traditional fixed
circuit-switched lines. In the mobile segment, LTE (News - Alert) coverage is already
better than in most European markets, edging close to 100% for all
three operators. As a result, subscribers are replacing mobile voice
services with mobile data services not only on 3G but also on 4G
networks.
-
We expect further M&A over the coming quarters, especially in the
cable segment. The Portuguese market has already gone through
significant consolidation in the past two years. The most important
change was the sale by Orange (News - Alert) of its 20% stake in Sonaecom, the former
parent company of Optimus. At the end of last year, Vodafone expressed
its interest in acquiring a cable company in Portugal, after taking
over cable companies in Spain and Germany. We believe that Cabovisao
will be a primary acquisition target for Vodafone (News - Alert).
