Austria prepares regulatory unbundling measures for fibre network access:

The annual publication, Austria - Telecoms, IP Networks, Digital Media and Forecasts, provides a comprehensive overview of the trends and developments in the telecommunications and digital media markets a key central European market.

Market highlights:

- The 900/1800MHz ranges currently reserved for GSM services are likely to be opened up for additional 3G use when the frequency allocations held by mobilkom austria, T-Mobile and Orange expire at the end of 2015, 2017 and 2019 respectively. This is in line with similar developments elsewhere in Europe where regulators are keen to refarm 2G spectrum to further develop the 3G sector.

- Fibre deployment remains insignificant outside Vienna and a few other major cities. Nevertheless, Telekom Austria has made considerable progress with its national FiberCities project, having rolled out FttH to about 150,000 households in Klagenfurt and Villach, providing speeds of up to 1Gb/s. This network complements the companys VDSL2 strategy in rural areas using existing fibre backbone infrastructure. About 4,000 mobile base stations will also be connected to the network to support the companys future LTE projects. FttH trials in Vienna are expected to start during the first quarter of 2011.

- All MNOs have advanced plans for LTE roll-outs, with T-Mobile as early as October 2009 having reached data rates at over 130Mb/s. In June 2010 the operators tested LTE in Vienna and Innsbruck using the 2.6GHz band using equipment from Huawei, while H3 has contracted NSN and Orange Ericsson. Mobilkom austria (also with Huawei) demonstrated LTE in July 2010 in Vienna. The technology should see commercial launched during 2011.

- The satellite TV sector is particularly strong in Austria, with the Astra system the market leader: about two thirds of digital TV households are Astra subscribers. Among DTH households, digital satellite has an 89% market share, compared to 39% for digital cable networks. The market has sufficient room to expand, with Austriasat introduced as a new competitor in late 2010.
