The Current Analysis Mobile Broadband Europe Tracker service provides detailed information and analysis on the mobile broadband portfolios of 60 national operators across 17 European countries for both consumer and business markets. The service assesses the current state of mobile broadband services and tracks recent changes, highlighting key competitive differentiators, fresh innovation, and lessons learned.

BENEFITS

The Mobile Broadband Europe Tracker service offers a quick-access view of the fast changing mobile broadband competitive landscape and enables customers to more effectively respond to competitive threats and opportunities. This product answers the following questions:

  • How prevalent are ‘unlimited’ plans, and how are operators positioning them?
  • How are operators bundling WiFi with cellular, to what effect, and how prevalent is this practice?
  • What kind of VoIP and tether policies are at play, and how are these evolving?
  • How are operators bundling mobile and fixed broadband, and how does the hardware (netbook, USB modem, laptop, MiFi) component play into this?
  • How are operators marketing value-add and quality of service for mobile broadband?
  • What do new LTE services look like, and how are they being marketed?
  • How are operators differentiating their services, both from either other, and across segments (consumer and small business)?
  • How are operators bundling software and hardware with mobile broadband?
  • How differently are Central and European markets evolving?
  • How quickly are mobile broadband prices per GB falling across Europe, and how does this ballpark compare to the market’s DSL pricing level?
