The Mobile Voice Market in Sweden.
An innovator in the mobile sector, Sweden was the first country in Europe to have UMTS networks across all major operators. Slower subscriber growth in recent years, due to market saturation, has been enervated by greater consumer take-up for mobile data services, made possible by significant investments in HSPDA networks. The analogue network was shut down in mid-2007, while the 450MHz frequency has been switched to digital use to provide a national mobile broadband service. Strong competition among network operators has led to falling call prices and ARPU, not yet compensated for by data use. The digital 450MHz network operated by Nordisk Mobiltelefon provides almost nationwide coverage.
The BuddeComm European mobile voice market report covers developments in the region’s mobile communications market and looks ahead to regulatory, economic and technological developments which will affect the market as well as operator and consumer behaviour in coming years.
