Not just a fat pipe dream

Consumer broadband uptake is finally starting to live up to the hype that has surrounded the sector for the past two years. While an economic slowdown has impacted heavily on much of the telecoms sector, broadband uptake continues to show double-digit growth.
Datamonitor's new report, European Consumer Broadband Markets is a detailed analysis of this rapidly growing sector. It forecasts growth for seven individual country markets in Western Europe, with detailed segmentation by access technology and content type. The report also provides a detailed pan-European overview of the broadband market, looking at the key drivers and trends that will ensure continued growth within the sector.
Consumer interest in broadband services has increased significantly over the past
12 months, fuelled by widespread marketing initiatives from leading service providers and, considerable, price reductions.

Key findings and report highlights
