In Europe, the stagnation of the broadband market
Statistics show that at the end of 2006, the European broadband market practically ceased to grow. In the III quarter. In 2006, the half-year growth was only 7%, whereas in 2005 it was 23%. Experts say that the reason for the stagnation is the dominance of large telecoms. Almost the only bright spot on the map of Europe is Latvia, a free market of communications has been created there, and it is developing at a rapid pace.
Market research is carried out by the European Competitive Telecommunications Association (ECTA). The report published by them notes another important trend: in some key countries, former monopolistic operators managed to partially restore their market share, which they had lost in previous years. According to ECTA experts, the two trends are related.
In the III quarter. In 2006, the semi-annual growth of the entire European market was only 7%, whereas in 2005 it was 23%.

In some European countries, the development of broadband access has virtually ceased. For example, in Denmark and Belgium, there was an increase in the number of connections by only 3%. In France, it is only 10%, so the country has rolled back from the leading position to as high as 8th place in the “ECTA Broadband Rating”. It was in these countries that national telecom operators and former monopolists strengthened their positions last year. They control more than 50% of the market in Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, Holland, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Greece.
For comparison, in Germany, the share of Deutsche Telekom fell to 48% - and this immediately had a positive effect on the communications market, which grew by 15% in six months. The fastest growing regions of Europe in the six months of 2006 were the Czech Republic (an increase of 123%) and Latvia (+ 109%).
In terms of broadband penetration, Denmark (30.3%), Holland (29.8%), Finland (26%) and Sweden (24.4%) are in the first places. The average European level is 14.8%. The total number of broadband lines in Europe has increased to 68.4 million. Detailed statistics for all countries can be downloaded in the XLS table .
The most free market in Europe is the United Kingdom, where the share of the national provider is only 25%. In second place among all European countries - Latvia (30%). This is followed by the Czech Republic, Malta and Sweden (36–38% each). The diagram shows the share of the national provider in the largest European countries (in blue).
