Finland - Telecoms, IP Networks, Digital Media and Forecasts Published on July 2011
Report Summary Finland's new 200Mb's service supporting the government's National Broadband Plan for 2015BuddeComm's annual publication, Finland - Telecoms, IP Networks, Digital Media and Forecasts, provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media markets in Finland. It includes data from the including the regulator's 2010 market reports as well as operator statistics to Q1 2011. Although turnover in Finland's telecom sector fell steadily between 2006 and 2008, aggravated by the impact of the financial crisis, some recovery has been seen since. This which should continue at a slow rate during the next few years: the key operators are committed to increasing investments in mobile and fibre networks, so allowing consumers to make greater use of IP-delivered content. More than half of total turnover is from the mobile sector, the remainder from fixed network operations, where revenue continues to fall in line with lower access and call charges, and lower use by consumers having switched to mobile-only and VoIP solutions. Finland's broadband penetration is far ahead of the EU average. The market is dominated by the main telcos TeliaSonera, Elisa and DNA. Wireless networks are provided nationally via MNOs and Digita Oy's network (based on 450MHz spectrum), as well as regional WiMAX and WLAN networks. Finland's regulator closely monitors the country's broadband development, comparing strategies with those of its neighbours Sweden, Denmark and Norway. This is partly to encourage regulatory and competition measures where they have proved successful elsewhere. The structure and prices of regional broadband markets also vary among the Nordic countries, with Sweden and Finland having the most favourable end-user prices regardless of connection speed. The government's Broadband Action Plan aims to deliver fibre-based broadband for all citizens by 2015. The Plan would deliver 100Mb/s services nationally, a significant improvement on the minimum 1Mb/s envisaged in 2004. To finance the State contribution the government auctioned frequencies in the 2.5-2.69GHz band at the end of 2009, with some of the proceeds going towards network rollout and the shortfall being met by a tax on telcos based on the number of their broadband subscriptions. The number of fixed-line broadband subscriptions is likely to remain stagnant to 2012 as a number of consumers switch to mobile-only solutions. However, growth will steadily resume thereafter as fibre-based networks, supplemented by 100Mb/s and 200Mb/s DOCSIS3.0 offers from cablecos, are made more widely available. The mobile sector has been equally successful, with penetration also above the EU average. Finland has one of the most advanced mobile markets in the world and has been an early adopter of emerging technologies: the country launched the world's first commercial GSM network, it was the first in Europe to award 3G licences, and it has trailed only Norway and Sweden in launching commercial LTE services. The country has also been at the forefront in utilising sub-GHz spectrum for 3G. There are around ten major mobile network operators or service operators in Finland, though 98% of the market (by subscribers) is controlled by a triopoly of the established players TeliaSonera, Elisa and DNA. These MNOs host several resellers and MVNOs, while Ă…lands Mobiltelefon operates a network in the Ă…lands area. There are several mobile service operators which also provide mobile broadband services, as well as players offering mobile broadband together with fixed broadband services, but without mobile voice services. Market competition as well as regulatory measures have gradually reduction the price of mobile calls and services: indeed mobile call charges in Finland are the cheapest in Europe, while Finnish mobile broadband subscriptions are also among the least expensive. Finland became the first country in the world to launch DTTV services based on the MHP, in 2001. The switchover from analogue to digital broadcasting was completed in 2007 ' digital TV is now broadcasted in five national multiplexers with a varying coverage and channel offering. In 2009 DNA was contracted to build a network to transmit HDTV nationally. In mid-2011 the company was awarded the licence to operate the third DTTV multiplex, bringing total capacity to 11 HD and about 15 SD channels. Multiplex D is primarily reserved for mobile TV.

Sector | 2010 | 2012 (e) | Broadband: | Fixed broadband subscribers (million) | 1.36 | 1.35 | Fixed broadband penetration rate | 29% | 31% | Mobile broadband subscribers (million) | 1.63 | 2.75 | Subscribers to telecoms services: | Fixed-line telephony (million) | 1.25 | 1.18 | Mobile phone (million) | 8.397 | 9.10 | Mobile SIM penetration (population) | 141% | 144% | (Source: BuddeComm) Market Highlights Mobile broadband now makes up more than half of all broadband subscriptions. Sector growth has slowed in recent years but consistent development is expected in coming years in the wake of upgraded networks and the wider availability of capable handsets.DNA has become the largest cableco following its purchase of Welho in mid-2010. The company has inaugurated a 200Mb/s service to support its commercial HDTV offering. The operator is also an MNO, well position as a quad-play provider.The regulator's auction of spectrum in the 2.5-2.69GHz band in late 2009 cleared the way for network operators to further develop LTE. The long term of the licences (valid until 2029) has meant that operators have been encouraged to invest in network upgrades. DNA launched HSPA+ mobile broadband with this spectrum in 2010, before migrating to LTE in 2011. TeliaSonera launched the country's first commercial LTE service in late 2010, while Elisa has contracted a hardware provider for its launch.The frequency coordination agreement reached between Finland and Russia in 2011 enables Finland to use the 800MHz band for LTE services: mid-2011 the regulator issued trial concessions to operate services in the 791MHz-801MHz band.Mobile data is still dominated by SMS, though the new LTE networks will enable customers to make use of a greater range of high-end applications from 2011 onwards. Data traffic doubled in 2010 and is expected to reach 65,000TB in 2012, compared to 16,000 in 2009.FttH has thus far made only a small impact in Finland, and is promoted principally by housing associations and local governments. Fibre is largely a preserve of the larger cities, while in smaller centres commercial activity is being stimulated by funds made available through the government's National Broadband Strategy. The government and regulator have targeted a national fibre or cable network enabling 100Mb/s connections across the country by 2015. The regulator estimated that by 2015 about 94% of connections would be within reach of the network. The cost of connections was estimated at between '2,000 and '3,000 per household, with some more remote areas costing up to '10,000 per household.To support the National Broadband plan, TeliaSonera has accelerated its investments in fibre-based broadband while in mid-2011 the provider SSP Yhtiรถt, part of the Finnet Group, contracted Alcatel-Lucent to deploy Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) in its network.Following the end of analogue TV transmissions, freed 470-850MHz band potentially allows up to 55 channels for mobile TV. The government has licensed a fourth digital broadcasting network dedicated to mobile TV (to Digita Oy). In late 2008 DNA was the first MNO to launch mobile TV in Finland, on Digita's DVB-H network Operators are experimenting with appropriate business models to attract consumers. Finland's success in this market would buck the trend seen elsewhere in Europe, where mobile TV has largely failed.This report is essential reading for those needing high level strategic information and objective analysis on the telecom sector in Finland. It provides further information on: Market liberalisation and regulatory issues;The impact of the global economic crisis;Telecoms operators ' privatisation, acquisitions, new licences;Mobile data market developments in coming years in light of spectrum auctions and new license awards in 2010;3G developments, regulatory issues and technologies including HSPA and LTE;Broadband migration to an FttH architecture;Historical and current subscriber statistics and forecasts;ARPU statistics and forecasts. Data in this report is the latest available at the time of preparation and may not be for the current year.
