Greece Telecommunications Report Q3 2007Product Type: Market Research ReportPublished by: Business Monitor International Published: November 2007 Product Code: R302-1709 Description In the first three months of 2007, the number of Greek mobile subscribers grew by 4% to reach14.647mn. With a mobile penetration rate of over 127%, Greece has one of the highest mobile penetrationrates in Europe. Despite this, the country continues to display strong subscriber growth rates and there isno immediate evidence of any significant slowdown. Steady growth is expected to continue throughout2007, with a 7.45% increase in subscribers being predicted for 2007 as a whole. We anticipate that Greekmobile penetration will reach 135% by the end of the year. Nevertheless, and as noted on previousoccasions, the reported operator figures contain a significant number of inactive subscribers. Lookingahead, we anticipate that the operators may begin discounting inactive accounts from their figures, andthis could lead to significant adjustments to our forecast. Meanwhile, prepaid customers have continuedto grow at a faster pace than post-paid/contract subscribers, and this phenomenon appears to be hitting atARPU levels. Despite this, there are early signs that the growth of 3G and mobile data services is startingto improve post-paid ARPU levels, at least in the case of Vodafone.Table of Contents
