Germany Fixed Telecoms Market Statistics, 2001-2010

The German Fixed Telecoms market was worth €18.4 billion at the end of 2006, with 55.9 million total voice connections including VoIP. We anticipate a continued decrease in fixed-line connections as consumers and businesses continue to replace usage of fixed-line telephony with that of mobile and VoIP telephony. We expect a surge in take-up of VoIP connections amid growth in broadband connections, which will more than offset the decline in fixed-line connections. The intensity in competition between operators will result in further reductions in tariffs resulting in declining ARPU levels for both business and consumer connections.
