BoR (11) 54 Available information essentially focuses on voice and broadband residential retail markets. Consequently, preliminary analysis carried out in this section only focuses on residential retail markets. These trends may thus not be the same for businesses retail markets. Although the development of bundled offers tends to blur the boundaries between voice and broadband retail markets, the existence of FMS will be looked at considering voice services and broadband services separately. 4.1. FMS trends – Voice services 4.1.1. General snapshot At the EU 27 level, as pointed out in the 15 th Implementation report, fixed voice telephony is declining both in terms of revenues and volumes. Traditional fixed voice telephony services are increasingly being replaced by Voice over Broadband services and also by mobile solutions. FMS for voice services can be considered in terms of calls and access. Calls The total number of voice calls (in minutes) initiated from fixed accesses decreased from 2005 to 2008, while it increased from mobile accesses. This could demonstrate, at a European level, a certain trend of FMS over time, regarding calls. However, as can be seen from the graph below, the rate of decline in fixed voice traffic and corresponding increase in the share of mobile voice traffic in relation to total traffic notably slowed between 2008 and 2009 17 suggesting a possible levelling off in this trend. Because many other factors are involved in the increase/decrease of fixed or mobile voice traffic 18 , this basic analysis is not sufficient to reach a conclusion. An analysis based on detailed national data is necessary to reach a conclusion. 17 In 2009, the Mobile traffic share (51.6%) exceeds for the first time the fixed traffic share (48.4%) – Source: Digital Agenda Scoreboard 2011. 18 Remark – Other parameters may explain the decrease in the total number of voice calls initiated from fixed access. For instance, part of the voice traffic initiated from fixed access is not counted as such Skype. 16
