DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hnnvc9/switzerland_mobi) has announced the addition of the "Switzerland - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.
Switzerland's mobile market has undergone considerable change in recent months, with two of the three mobile network operators changing ownership and the prospect of further consolidation should regulatory approval be gained for the potential merger of the second and third players. Mobile penetration is on a par with the European average while mobile data use among consumers has increased rapidly. Operators have upgraded their networks with high-end mobile technologies in a bid to encourage consumer use of mobile data services, thus providing some stability to otherwise declining ARPU. The regulator has encouraged operators to collaborate on a shared LTE network, so reducing investment costs, while pilot LTE projects are underway with a view to commercial launches later in 2012.
In addition, GSM spectrum has been allocated for 3G use, thus enabling network operators to extend their 3G reach. A range of spectrum bands to be auctioned by mid-2012 will enhance operator abilities to enhance mobile broadband offerings. Mobile TV has also progressed, with Swisscom Broadcast having been awarded a national mobile TV licence using the DVB-H standard.
This report assesses Switzerland's mobile market, presenting an analysis on the regulatory environment and a profile of the main providers. It also assesses data services, detail developments in mobile TV and other new technologies, and provide ARPU and 3G subscriber forecasts to 2015.
