Research and Markets: France Telecommunications Report Q4 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/77ec72/france_telecommuni) has announced the addition of the "France Telecommunications Report Q4 2011" report to their offering.

This quarter's update of BMI's France Telecommunications Market Report examines the latest developments in the country's fixed-line, mobile telephony and broadband services markets. The latest data from the principal operators and the regulator show that, despite saturation, the mobile market continues to show robust growth while the fixed and broadband market is expanding steadily. Meanwhile, the rate of decline in traditional voice telephony services accelerated slightly.

BMI again point to France's mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) as the engine for top-line growth in the mobile arena. While the network operators focus on upgrading existing 2G and 3G subscribers to mobile broadband and multiplay converged services packages, the MVNOs continue to enjoy success in addressing niche and low-cost markets increasingly eschewed by the network operators. BMI expect the French market to be serving 66.67mn subscribers by the end of 2011, a figure BMI now forecast to grow to 72.80mn in 2015.

Growing usage of broadband voice and cable telephony services has served to slow the rate of decline for voice connections as a whole, but the slump in traditional line usage means that H111 figures were lower than BMI had been expecting and our forecasts for the subsequent five-year period have been adjusted downwards to take this into account. BMI now expect that, by 2015, there will be 16.72mn traditional voice lines in service in France, a penetration rate of 26.2%.
