Description

This study defines, sizes, and forecasts the Western European markets for FMC services and shows current activities and challenges by value chain players.

"The market for FMC services is still very immature in 2006," said Jill Finger Gibson, research director, European Fixed-Line Telecommunications. "The current activity is more focused on pre-convergence services in the form of simple bundled offerings as well as IP-based solutions which do not include seamless handover. FMC will gain more traction towards the end of the forecast period and there will be 15 million subscribers to FMC services by 2010."
