United Kingdom Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations Statistics and Analyses 2019 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “United
Kingdom – Telecoms Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations – Statistics
and Analyses” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.

This report analyses the key aspects of the UK’s telecom market,
presenting statistics on the fixed network services sector and an
overview of the key regulatory issues including the status of
interconnection, local loop unbundling, and carrier preselection. The
report reviews the major fixed network telcos and examines the status of
fixed-line voice services following the deregulation of the retail call
market sector.

The UK’s telecom market remains one of the largest in Europe,
characterised by fierce competition which has resulted in reduced
pricing for end-users. Following some market consolidation in the mobile
segment there are four key players and a number of MVNOs. Mobile
broadband in coming years will place some additional pressure on the
fixed-line broadband subscriber base as customers are tempted to migrate
to 5G-enabled services.

The fixed-line broadband sector is characterised by the steady decline
in DSL and the ongoing efforts among a good number of operators to
expand the reach of fibre networks. This is being supported by
government efforts to encourage the right economic environment
facilitating the ambition to have a fully-fibred UK by 2033.

The fixed-line voice segment is being similarly repositioned, with PSTN
services making way for IP-delivered content. BT’s independent wholesale
unit Openreach plans to complete the switch to fibre by 2025.

Key Developments:

• BT transfers 31,000 employees to Openreach Ltd;
• BT and Huawei trial 3Tb/s channel over existing fibre;
• Arctic cables to connect UK to Japan;
• Report update includes the regulars market updates to June 2018,
  telcos financial and operating data to Q3 2018, recent market
  developments.
