Report Summary
Our's Italy and Malta annual publication, 2008 Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband in Italy and Malta, profiles key developments in one of Europe's most sophisticated telecom markets, as well as one of its smallest.
Italy's mobile market remains among the more dynamic in Europe, supported by a large population keen to adopt new services and favouring the use of multiple SIMs. The DTH platform, Tivu, is supported by RAI, Mediaset and Telecom Italia (News - Alert) Media and is expected to be launched in mid-2009.
Italy also has one of the most advanced fibre infrastructures, with FASTWEB and Telecom Italia among the top tier in Europe. Upgraded networks and the widening fibre footprint will provide a strong foundation for IPTV (News - Alert), VoD and IP delivered content in coming years.
Malta has not lagged behind in technological developments, with the incumbent, GO, offering quad play services and Vodafone having built a national WiMAX (News - Alert) network to complement its mobile offerings and provide more comprehensive bundled packages.
This report presents a concise overview of the telecom markets in Italy and Malta, providing key statistics on operators' offers and performances together with their strategies to adapt to the increasingly competitive scenarios expected in coming years. It also assesses regulatory changes and their implications, and analyses the emergence of convergence between the sectors and quad play services.
Key highlights
Malta's third 3G operator, 3G Telecommunications, will enable its network builder, Melita Cable, to rival GO as the country's second full service quad play provider in coming years.
Italy's mobile market is one of the most advanced in Europe. Take-up of 3G is expected to reach more than 40% by 2009, among the highest proportions in Europe. Continued growth in coming years will be supported by the ongoing popularity of emerging mobile data services.
Italy's broadband market is supported by the high proportion of people living in apartment blocks, short local loops, sympathetic regulatory measures and the co-operation of municipalities.
Italy's fibre market remains one of the strongest in Europe, and will continue to mature in 2009 on the back of an important infrastructure sharing deal between FASTWEB and Telecom Italia and recent legislation to streamline administrative procedures. Lower building costs will help spread fibre beyond the main cities and to the majority of the population in coming years.
