Research and Markets: Sweden Telecommunications Report Q2 2011

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7dced8/sweden_telecommuni) has announced the addition of the "Sweden Telecommunications Report Q2 2011" report to their offering.

Business Monitor International's Sweden Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Sweden's telecommunications industry.

The Q211 BMI report on Sweden's telecommunications market contains the latest data published by the country's incumbent operator, TeliaSonera, Swedish based international operator Tele2, Norwegian incumbent operator Telenor and international conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa's subsidiary Hi3G, covering Q410. We also include the latest mobile content data and information on the fixed-line and broadband markets published by the regulator, for the period ended June 2010. BMI's forecasts were revised in Q111, and remain unchanged for all segments except 3G, which has been revised upwards as a result of the increased rate of uptake of smartphones in H210.

There has been no new release of data by the Swedish telecoms regulator since June 2010, when it reported there were 5.014mn fixed lines in Sweden. However, data from individual operators shows that the annual rate of decline for FY10 has remained approximately the same as the 3.4% decline in 2009. BMI estimates there were 4.997mn lines at the end of 2010.

BMI estimates there were a total of 4.881mn broadband internet subscribers at the end of 2010, a y-o-y increase of 12.6%. This report believes this growth was led by fibre, DOCSIS3.0 cable and mobile broadband connections. While xDSL accounted for the bulk of connections, at 1.633mn, this represented a decline of 4% y-o-y and it is in danger of being overtaken by mobile broadband, which had a total of 1.532mn subscribers, or 29% share of broadband connections in H110. This report expects mobile broadband's share to increase as consumer preferences for higher speeds increase. In H110 mobile broadband accounted for over 85% of net additions of 10Mbps+ connections with fibre accounting for 9% and cable TV 5%.
