The 10th edition of this report provides analysis of the overriding trends and chief developments in broadband markets around the globe. It examines the main forces driving the market’s growth and transformation – equipment momentum, technological advancements and increasing bitrates, expanding service offerings, growing competition, regulatory debates – and offers profiles of the globe’s leading broadband access providers (strategy, services, financial results).
The Atlas takes a look at underlying market trends and supplies volume forecasts up to 2011, by geographical zone and by type of access (ADSL, cable modem and others, including very high-speed broadband). From a geographical standpoint, the report delivers data and detailed estimates for the globe’s main regions (Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific), along with analyses of the largest national markets. |

This market report carried out by IDATE try to answer the following question: Can network outsourcing become the norm of the industry? We believe this question falls within a much broader one on the future models of telecom operators. As carriers in advanced markets face usage, growth, globalization and regulatory challenges, they will increasingly steer away from their generalist positioning to improve their return on invested capital. |

Increasingly, the Internet Protocol is being used to distribute television services. But the protocol, which has become common to a wide array of fixed and mobile networks, offers myriad scenarios and options for implementation. This shift favours the emergence of new entrants, in particular telecom network operators, service providers and aggregators. This study has two objectives: on the one hand, to provide a frame of reference enabling a more focused appreciation of the changes and challenges associated with turning to IP for video distribution; on the other hand, to gain a sense of what the market for video over IP will look like in the near future with regard to services, players and systems. |

Femtocells have seemingly gone from cult to mainstream in the space of a year. Despite this, no femtocells have been deployed commercially and considerable hurdles must be overcome before units can be rolled out on a wide-scale basis. As such, the approach of this report is to present the views of leading experts from the vendor and operator communities, as well as a summary of the activities of all concerned in bringing femtocells to market. It is hoped that this will provide an effective overview of the market as it stands now, albeit one that is necessarily incomplete and a work in progress. |

This IDATE report examines the challenges that arise from the transition
from PSTN to Next Generation Access Networks. The study illustrates
different types of fibre-based network architecture and their specific implications
in the competition arena. The issues identified are further presented
in a European regulatory context. |

Current trends in Web architecture provide the basis for Internet service players to leverage Internet infrastructure to deliver powerful new services. This report analyses traffic trends and the new challenges of video, APIs and Web 2.0 and reviews the datacentre strategies of Internet giants, their offerings now accessible to third parties. It examines how the evolving CDN and P2P markets are enabling new services for smaller Web players, and the initial telco reactions to traffic growth. |

The sustained growth in Internet traffic and its expansion over the next few years could result in saturation of the infrastructure. Faced with such a prospect, how can the players involved plan for sharing the required investments and, more importantly, how can operators position themselves to capture the value associated with distributed content. |

There is a flurry of innovations in the pricing strategies of the mobile phone market, in particular the pricing schemes for the three most commonly used services: voice calls, SMS and data transmission. This IDATE report explains and reviews in detail the tariffs on offer in the consumer sector from mobile network operators, focusing primarily on Europe (France, Germany, Italy and the UK), the United States, Mexico, and Japan. |

Telecommunications equipment suppliers and operators see in mobile broadband the growth driver that is indispensable for their expansion. But implementing data services on mobile networks poses a series of both technical and economic problems for players in the ecosystem. In this study, we will analyse the issues in mobile broadband for these players, notably with services aimed at moving fixed Internet into a mobile environment. |

The Mobile TV market is a myriad of consolidation, and solution vendors are running hard to adapt. Their services can be based on linear TV channels, on-demand contents or rich media applications. The delivery vector could be existing cellular mobile networks, dedicated broadcast solutions or alternative provisioning, notably through open systems. And they have to deal with a variety of standards and formats. |

This report presents the trends of the emerging market of international roaming for data services on GSM / 3G mobile networks, the services and tariffs offered by European operators and their evolution. It also analyses the technology involved to provide data roaming services and the relations between the different players: mobile network operators, international transit carriers and clearing houses. |

For handset players, the growing portion of wireless connectivity modules embedded in handsets constitutes the first step to enter the wireless ecosystem of opportunities. Today as more data transit through mobile phones, development of wireless ecosystems from WLAN to WPAN where information is transmitted thanks to short range technologies (Bluetooth, UWB, Zigbee, NFC) could greatly impact the historic use of operators network as primary data transmitter but also represent a real opportunity to diversify their business. |

This report examines the different technologies, both current and future, employed in FTTH or FTTB rollouts, including PON and Ethernet networks, as well as the latest developments in copper technologies (notably DSM). The topic of outfitting homes with cable is also addressed. And, finally, the report provides exclusive insights from leading industry players into the reasons behind their technological choices. |

One thing is clear: Internet video will continue to expand and now constitutes a path for development and diversification for TV industry players. Timeshifted viewing is still only nascent and a great many players from inside and outside the television industry are gambling on a position in this market. After the first trials and rollouts, we have reached a consolidation phase where the issue of turning a profit is being raised. Up until now, only the sector’s leaders appeared capable of achieving a positive revenue/cost differential with their services (excluding committed costs). |

Building a more and more intelligent network has been a long-term goal. But what does ‘intelligent’ mean? As a term, it is easily misinterpreted and seen as a fuzzy notion. Opposed to a ‘dumb’ network on which packets are transported to their destinations without any questions, an intelligent network has the ability to monitor network behaviour along with end-user experience. It is the in-depth data made available by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) that makes the network more intelligent, thus adding some smarts into a network infrastructure. |
