DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cbe079/france_digital_e) has announced the addition of the "France - Digital Economy and Digital TV - Insights, Statistics and Analysis" report to their offering.
France is one of Europe's key markets for telecom convergence. It has Europe's largest IPTV sector, while a fast-growing number of consumers have adopted bundled offers. The success of this market largely rests on fierce competition which has brought the cost of most bundles to below 30 per month. DSL operators have invested in network upgrades incorporating ADSL2+, while the incumbent France Telecom is deploying a wide-reaching hybrid ADSL/fibre network providing high bandwidth services to meet consumer needs. The consolidated cable sector is now dominated by Numricable, which manages an upgraded network capable of competing effectively with DSL offerings. Significant progress has also been made in France's digital terrestrial TV sector, with the first region having been switched to digital services. This report reviews France's multiple-play and digital TV sectors in 2011, including services such as VoD and IPTV and developments in digital, cable and satellite TV. It also examines the latest regulatory measures relating to digital convergence and applications.
