Sydney, July 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Just released, this edition of BuddeComm report outlines the latest developments and key trends in the telecoms markets. - https://www.budde.com.au/Research/Finland-Telecoms-Mobile-and-Broadband-Statistics-and-Analyses/?utm_source=GNW
The country is also at the leading edge of developments on 6G research within Europe. These efforts have been supported by the government and telecom regulator, which have worked towards the EU’s 2030 broadband targets. 5G services were available to about 82% of the population by the beginning of 2022, though geographic coverage was far lower given that the MNOs have focussed investment on the more densely populated areas of the country.
The country has also driven the fixed broadband migration from copper to fibre, in line with the emphasis on the provision of gigabit services. The number of fibre broadband connections continues to increase rapidly, supported by the collective efforts of smaller providers in municipalities, as well as the adoption of techniques such as micro-trenching, which dramatically reduce engineering costs.
This report assesses key aspects of the Finnish telecom market, providing data on the fixed network services sector together with an overview of important regulatory issues including interconnection, local loop unbundling, number portability and carrier preselection. The report also profiles the major operators and assesses the state of telecoms infrastructure and services. In addition, the report provides statistics and analyses on the mobile market, including key regulatory issues, a snapshot of the consumer market, the growth of mobile data services and the development of emerging technologies and networks.
