Research and Markets: France - Broadband Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts Report Provides Forecasts for Broadband

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c322df/france_broadband) has announced the addition of the "France - Broadband Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

France has the third largest broadband subscriber base in Europe. Growth in 2009 has been bolstered by demand for high bandwidth applications, considerable investment in fibre infrastructure, and a pro-competitive regulator which has promoted access to France Telecom's network for new entrants through local loop unbundling. Recent legislation has secured similar access for fibre infrastructure. DSL dominates broadband access, while fibre deployment has become a substantial proposition, particularly in the Paris region. Although the cable footprint only reaches about 40% of the population, the dominant cableco Numricable has upgraded its network to compete with DSL and has itself entered the DSL market through acquisitions. This report assesses France's fixed broadband markets in 2011, focussing on cable and DSL as well as developments with related technologies such as ADSL2+ and VDSL2. It reviews the strategies of the principal providers such as France Telecom, Iliad and SFR, considers the regulatory status of LLU, and provides forecasts for broadband penetration to 2020.

Key developments: broadband subscriber growth remains strong at 7%; 20.2 million DSL subscribers; cable sector accounting for 5% of total broadband; operator data to Q1 2011.

Companies covered in this report include Orange, Iliad, SFR, Numricable.
