As European economies start to show positive growth, operators’ position on fiber coverage will become decisive for competitiveness and post-recession growth. We believe that it is the right time for telcos to refocus from DSL to fiber, as DSL is increasingly lagging in terms of coverage, capacity and price compared with cable and especially fiber. Fiber could shield telcos from mounting competition and provide opportunity for further growth. Fiber is also a safe bet against broadband fixed-mobile substitution.
This report examines the potential of fiber developments in Europe and the factors that increasingly push incumbents and other DSL operators toward fiber. It contains a detailed analysis of the competitive technology and fiber developments in selected countries: the Netherlands, Romania, Russia and Spain. The report also provides Pyramid Research’s five-year forecast on FTTH and FTTB in the four selected markets and in Europe overall.
