Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report covering the market trends and developments in Estonia’s telecommunications, mobile, Internet, and digital TV industries.

Estonia – Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts tells us how Estonia’s telecom market has reaped the benefits of strong economic growth and investment. This has been facilitated through competition and the implementation of an EU-mandated regulatory framework which will stand the market in good stead in light of Estonia’s current economic situation.

Internet usage in Estonia is high, the population of users exceeds 64%. The market has moved almost completely from dial-up access to broadband and the country boasts the highest broadband penetration level of all Eastern European countries, approaching 25%. Widespread Internet usage has underpinned the country’s emerging Internet economy, with various e-commerce and e-government services available and widely used.

The report goes on to describe how Estonia’s cable TV sector has provided a strong base for competition, the largest cable TV operator is used by over 50% of households. Competition in the digital pay TV market is healthy as take up of broadband TV (IPTV) and satellite pay TV is growing annually.

A highly developed mobile market is evident, with seven competing GSM or WCDMA networks pushing SIM card penetration levels beyond 100%. To grow revenue service providers are focusing on increasing usage and hence revenue per subscriber, mainly in the form of minutes of use and marketing of mobile broadband services. The latter holds much promise given the current low mobile broadband penetration levels and hence strong annual growth rates of mobile broadband take up.
