Market Highlights:
The number of bundled subscriptions increased 15% in 2010, year-on-year, reaching 1.4 million. Growth is expected to be consistent in coming years as consumers take advantage of cheaper offers from operators able to exploit their upgraded networks. The range of offers is unlikely to widen, given that the most popular combination is broadband with fixed telephony, which represents over half of all bundled subscriptions. In triple play, fixed telephony with fixed broadband and TV represent almost 40% of all bundles. The number of quad play subscribers has doubled each year since such offers were introduced in 2008.
The award of 15-year national licences in the 800MHz band in 2011 has enabled MNOs to extend their rural broadband capabilities, utilising LTE technology. This will go far in meeting the government's Broadband Strategy objectives. Sweden is also among the leading EU countries to use 900MHz spectrum for 3G services.
Mobile data use has grown considerably since 2007, and is set to grow more rapidly during the next few years as LTE and HSPA networks expand across the country Mobile data use is expected to increase 50% in 2011, though this will not be mirrored by a similar increase in mobile data revenue for operators given existing competition and regulatory measures on data tariffs.
Continuing constraints on mobile networks, despite the greater availability of spectrum, may encourage MNOs to introduce business models adjusting to customer demand, with pricing tiered based on speed and usage.
