Some Key Market Highlights
- Mobile broadband now makes up more than half of all broadband subscriptions. Sector growth has slowed in recent years but consistent development is expected in coming years in the wake of upgraded networks and the wider availability of capable handsets.
- DNA has become the largest cableco following its purchase of Welho in mid-2010. The company has inaugurated a 200Mb/s service to support its commercial HDTV offering. The operator is also an MNO, well position as a quad-play provider.
- The regulator's auction of spectrum in the 2.5-2.69GHz band in late 2009 cleared the way for network operators to further develop LTE. The long term of the licences (valid until 2029) has meant that operators have been encouraged to invest in network upgrades. DNA launched HSPA+ mobile broadband with this spectrum in 2010, before migrating to LTE in 2011. TeliaSonera launched the country's first commercial LTE service in late 2010, while Elisa has contracted a hardware provider for its launch.
- The frequency coordination agreement reached between Finland and Russia in 2011 enables Finland to use the 800MHz band for LTE services: mid-2011 the regulator issued trial concessions to operate services in the 791MHz-801MHz band.
- Mobile data is still dominated by SMS, though the new LTE networks will enable customers to make use of a greater range of high-end applications from 2011 onwards. Data traffic doubled in 2010 and is expected to reach 65,000TB in 2012, compared to 16,000 in 2009.
