Global Fixed Broadband - Analyses, Statistics and Regional OverviewsLONDON, Sept. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Fixed broadband penetration varies vastly around the world With this in mind, it is encouraging to see that many of the emerging markets which rely heavily on mobile infrastructure are now seriously investing in fixed broadband infrastructure and developing national broadband strategies. In addition, many emerging markets are supportive of government initiatives to develop international high-speed links and are welcoming the opportunity to connect with large submarine and terrestrial cable systems. BuddeComm has always maintained that mobile infrastructure and fibre infrastructure are both essential to our societies. This report provides analyses on this topic, combined with global industry statistics related to fixed broadband. The report also provides valuable insights into how fixed broadband is developing around the world, supported by regional overviews. It incorporates BuddeComm's Telecoms Maturity Index for some regions and this measures and ranks the maturity of a country's telecoms industry on a scale of 1 to 100, taking fixed broadband penetration into account. All countries are placed into one of three categories: Market Leaders, Market Challengers and Market Laggards, according to their Market Index score. Comparisons are also made between the mobile broadband and fixed broadband penetration of the various countries which comprise the regions of Africa; Asia; Europe; Latin America and The Middle East. Key developments: Fibre-based broadband infrastructure doesn't have the capacity limitations that the mobile sector is struggling to manage. 5G will also require access to a fibre optic backbone in order to provide the affordable high-speed services which will emerge. Use of international bandwidth has tripled since 2014 with content providers being one of the largest consumers. In 2018 the majority of countries around the world now have a National Broadband plan or policy in place. Asia continues to represent a massive presence in the global broadband market in terms of fixed (and mobile broadband) services. China, South Korea and the USA offer some of the largest subscribers bases and/or fast average fixed broadband speeds. Deployments based on Fibre-to-the-Premises (FttP) will continue to gain momentum as many countries continue to develop their National Broadband Networks (NBNs). We are getting close to having 1 billion fixed broadband subscriptions globally.
