Market Highlights:
T-Mobile has expanded its HSPA+ coverage, reaching 43% of the population (97 cities and larger municipalities, as well as some 230 smaller towns) by mid-2011. National coverage is expected by 2013, delivering capable mobile broadband to rural areas.
The regulator's decision to switch off analogue mobile services based on the NMT system will allow the spectrum to be reassigned. Telefnica stopped using NMT for voice services in 2006, instead using the band to support for CMDA data transfer for mobile broadband.
Despite difficulties in other European markets, Telefnica, T-Mobile and Vodafone are developing a DVB-H mobile TV network in the Czech Republic based on trials undergone since 2008.
The alliance among MNOs to promote m-payment services, using a joint Plat mobilem' (Pay by Mobile) logo, should rapidly expedite market developments in coming years given the propensity for Czechs to use cash rather than credit cards for most purchases.
Vodafone CR launched VDSL2 services in mid-2011, delivering up to 25Mb/s to a third of the population.
In 2010, total revenues from electronic communications fell 4.8% year-on-year to CZK126.5 billion. The largest fall was in the mobile sector, which fell 7.9% to CSK74.4 billion. Nevertheless, overall investment in networks and telecoms services increased 4.1% in 2010 to CZK 15.02 billion. Respectable growth in GDP expected for 2011 and 2012 promises some recovery in consumer spend and telecom sector revenue.
With the switch to DTTV progressing, the first multiplex now reaches nearly 100% of the population, the second multiplex covers over 89%, the third over 85% and the fourth 25% (concentrated on Prague, Plzen, Brno and Ostrava).
