EC/IST FP6 Project No 026920 Work Package: 6 Type of document: Report Date: 20.12.2007 File name: OP_WP6_D37_V1.0.doc Version: 1.0 Title: Worldwide Market Research Report 142 / 356 Bulgaria by the incumbent operator. The desire to offer broadband and convergence service is driving NGN/VoIP deployments, with more deployments likely as the strategy of focusing on broadband and convergence becomes more common. Triple play services are offered by the cable operators, with Croatia’s fixed-line incumbent announcing plans to offer services. An alternative operator has launched a competing triple play offer to that of the incumbent in Cyprus, based on its ADSL2+ network. ADSL2+ networks have also provided the base for triple play services by a Greek alternative operator. Romania has seen four digital satellite pay TV operators enter the market, with the largest and most successful player expanding services into Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, with plans to enter Serbia and Croatia. As it regards the CIS areas, the Syvazinvest companies and alternative operators in Russia and Ukraine are generating increased revenue through mobile and Internet services, with plans to further grow revenue through broadband and IPTV. Plans to offer the aforementioned convergence and broadband-based services has driven the need to upgrade infrastructure, with numerous network upgrades and NGN deployments underway. Russian WiMAX deployment activity is continuing, with new deployments including mobile WiMAX underway. Operators involved in WiMAX developments include Start Telecom, Enforta, Internafta, MetroMAX, Infoseti, Synterra, Golden Telecom, Peterstar and Sibirtelecom. Services were launched in Ukraine in late 2005 by alternative operator UHT, with plans to expand coverage nationally and offer mobile WiMAX service, while services in Belarus are offered by the fixed-line incumbent. Broadband services in Russia are becoming increasingly popular and available due to increased infrastructure investment, with a large portion of the residential market continuing to be served by large informal LANs in Russia, with a similar situation in Ukraine. Deployment of faster broadband services such as ADSL2+ and FTTH is underway in Russia. Cable broadband services are experiencing a surge in popularity in Belarus and Moldova, although the phenomenal growth rates recorded have been based on a small initial user base. The growing popularity of broadband in Belarus is reflected in the country’s growing internet user penetration, which rose by 36% during 2005. WiFi continues to be popular despite heavy WiMAX activity: Golden Telecom has deployed 3,000 access nodes out a total of 5,000 planned for its mesh WiFi network in

Competing IPTV services to that of Comstar-UTS are available in Russia, with other deployments planned both in Russia and Ukraine. 5.3.5.1.2 VoIP and IP-TV service providers [E13] IPTV is a truly global phenomenon, but the most recent DITTBERNER report reveals that Western Europe dominates the market with 68% of global IPTV subscribers, followed by Asia with 28%. North America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa collectively comprise just 8% of the current subscriber quota. DITTBERNER forecasts that Western Europe will continue to increase its market share due to a combination of factors, including aggressive geographical competition and the spread of pan-European carriers such as France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom and Telefonica. Eastern Europe, by contrast, is said to be struggling to switch its fixed network line to digital. Among the Eastern European country, Russia (that it can be considered European only partly), is the nation with the greatest presence of IP-TV services, placing at the 8 th position of the DITTBERNER's Top 10 Countries report. Russia [E14] On November 14 th , 2007, Russia’s Comstar UTS has acquired an 87.5% stake in the alternative telco Regional Technical Centre (RTC) for $21 million (€14.4 million) in cash. RTC is based in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area, where Sistema-backed Comstar UTS already has a presence through Tyumenneftegassvyaz, the region’s second largest alternative carrier. The acquisition will result in Comstar UTS’s market share in Khanty- Mansi, which has a telco market estimated to be worth $255 million this year, rising to 33%. In full Eastern Europe instead, Poland is the country with the greatest development of the IP- TV services, and partly of VoIP too. Poland Multimedia Polska is one of the leading (perhaps the first) Polish providers of triple play, combining IP-TV, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony in a single package.
