Main developments on Europe's telecoms markets

With a total revenue of € 274.9 billion in 2010, the European telecoms service market decreased by 1.4% despite slow economic recovery (+ 3.5% for current GDP in the region) showing that structural rather than cyclical changes are shaping the sector. Furthermore, Europe's share of the global telecoms market has been declining regularly over recent years, from 33% in 2004 to just over 27% in 2010. Telcos' investments in Europe were up 2.3% in 2010 to € 44.5 billion but remained low compared with spending during the years before 2009.

3 . revenue and service trends

Broadband and mobile segments just compensate for the decline in fixed telephony

After the deterioration of the European telecoms markets in 2009, recovery seems to be underway, but results posted in 2010 were still weakened by the severity of the economic crisis. All segments were impacted with an accelerated decline in activities already concerned with structural downturn (fixed telephony) and a slowdown of growth was seen in other services (mobile, broadband).

There are clearly 3 areas with contrasted dynamics:

• Fixed telephony revenues are declining rapidly • The broadband and ultra-fast broadband (-2% in 2010 and –6.3% over the last 5 years) segments are the major growth drivers in and now account for only 49% of the total retail Europe’s telecom services market, fuelled by a telecoms market. growing subscriber base (+7.3% to 146 millions at the end of 2010 in ETNO countries). • Growth in Europe’s mobile market was very low in 2010: only 1%. The combination of a smaller decrease for mobile voice services (though users continued to switch to fixed IP and other mobile solutions such as SMS) and a slightly higher increase for mobile data services put things back on track after the recession in 2009. But most of the progress can be attributed to non-EU countries.

ETNO members to drive NGA deployments

Data on broadband networks deployment show that the Digital Agenda targets for 2013 are well on track. As regards next generation access broadband, data confirm the leading role of ETNO members and the importance of a mix of technologies and platforms in order to achieve the 2020 targets of the Digital Agenda.

The total number of FTTH/B homes passed Data on broadband networks deployment show reached 20.7 millions in Europe (79.2 million FTTx that the Digital Agenda targets for 2013 are well homes passed including VDSL, FTTLA notably) on track.

ETNO members and the importance of a mix of technologies and platforms in order to achieve the 2020 targets of the Digital Agenda.

There have been close to 250 FTTH/B rollouts in Europe on scales that vary from only a few dozen buildings to several million homes passed. Though until now incumbent carriers account for only part of those deployments (representing less than 20% of homes passed with fibre in Europe, 44% for ETNO members including subsidiaries acting as competitive operators outside their domestic markets), they are the ones with the greatest growth potential. Virtually all of Europe's incumbent carriers are either involved in FTTH/B rollouts, are gearing up to it or are in the planning stages announcing multi-billion Euro investments. Furthermore, some of them are greatly involved in VDSL projects in their domestic markets (Deutsche Telekom with 10 million homes passed at the end of 2010; Belgacom, 3.3 million, Swisscom and Turk Telekom, 3 million each, Telekom Austria, 1.5 million).

In 2010, FTTH/B and FTTx deployments by ETNO members have increased by 33% and 55%, representing the biggest growth.

6 new broadband services

Over the top services and applications continue to drive consumers usage of Internet

Four major usages should shape the internet future:

• Online search is by far the most commonly • Video consumption has grown strongly, used service, involving 78% of Internet users particularly due to videos shared on sites worldwide in 2010 and rising to 82% in 2015. like YouTube. This use also includes premium Derived services (mapping, directory search, videos (VoD and catch-up TV). Globally, etc.) are also very commonly used. about three-quarters of Internet users watch online videos. • Social networks have also experienced considerable growth: currently, two-thirds of Internet users are registered with a social network. • Lastly, e-commerce is more difficult to translate into practice, since it usually entails online payment. However, this use will continue to grow until it involves nearly half of Internet users in 2015.

Other Web services are also very well developed in terms of users (email, access to non-merchant services such as Wikipedia, online banking, government services, etc.), but they currently represent a very small part of Internet revenues, and this situation is unlikely to change.
