DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/w8kh4m/italy_broadband) has announced the addition of the "Italy - Broadband Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.
The Italian broadband market has strong competition in the DSL sector, supplemented by a vibrant fibre sector. In the absence of effective cross-platform competition from cable networks, DSL has benefited from the market entry of new players such as Vodafone. Several operators have invested in ADSL2+ and VDSL infrastructure, propelling the market for high-bandwidth bundled services, while Telecom Italia's newly created Open Access division has aimed to improve competitor access to its networks. Regulatory measures have also been taken to address competitor access to NGNs. This report presents key statistics on the Italian broadband market, including the burgeoning fibre sector. It also assesses the wireless market, detailing the regulatory treatment for WiMAX auctions, and provides broadband forecasts to 2020.
