ANNEX 2 – FIRST ANALYSIS (SECTION 3) BoR (11) 54 Section 3.1 of the report (substitution of fixed voice services by mobile voice services) introduced a first overview of possible fixed-mobile substitution trends in Europe for voice services. Based on the quantitative data analysed in section 3, we can highlight the important parameters that may influence the trend in fixed to mobile substitution. These parameters are discussed in more depth in section 6 of this report. SUBSTITUTION OF FIXED VOICE SERVICES BY MOBILE VOICE SERVICES Price Price of voice access and calls is obviously an important parameter that may enable or hinder fixed to mobile substitution. Mobile prices Focusing on the affordability of mobile telephony, the results of the 2011 E- communications households survey emphasize that 65% of EU mobile phone users are concerned about mobile communication charges and consequently limit their calls. This might limit the trend toward fixed-mobile substitution for calls and, possibly, for voice access. Nonetheless, this parameter does not seem to be directly correlated with fixed to mobile voice access substitution. Indeed, this concern is most important in Greece and Spain and is also important in the Czech Republic (77%; +7%).As discussed in section 4, a trend toward fixed to mobile voice access substitution appears to be more likely in the Czech Republic. Fixed prices Based on the 2010 E-Communication Households Survey, cost is the second reason why households don’t have fixed telephone lines at home (37%). In its analysis on Mobile-only households 63 , Analysys Mason points out the significance of price as a parameter which can influence fixed to mobile substitution: “In Western Europe, fixed voice is cheaper than mobile. The average retail price per minute on fixed networks (including revenue from line rental) was 37% lower than the same on mobile networks 63 Source : Analysis Mason (Mobile-only households: fixed voice will all but disappear in some Central and Eastern European countries) – September 2011 http://www.analysysmason.com/About- Us/News/Insight/Insight_fixedvoice_abandonment_CEE_Sep2011/?utm_campaign=Insight%2029%20September%202 011&utm_source=emailCampaign&utm_medium=email 53
