Summary

This document provides insight into the status of the broadband market in Europe. It analyzes and recommends strategies for the different types of operators in the Western European broadband market. In addition it quantifies the competitive situation for Western Europe as a whole and for each country separately. It includes broadband connection figures by country at the end of 2005. In addition, market shares are calculated on three levels: infrastructure (by technology), network (by network provider), and retail (by ISP). ISP subscription numbers and shares for 2004 and 2005 are provided by country.

"Broadband operators are becoming integrated providers of voice, video, and data services. Increasingly this bundle will also include mobility," said Jan Hein Bakkers, research manager at IDC. "In this multiplay environment, competition is not about selling single services, it is about customer ownership."
