LTE Home Broadband Services in CEE: Prospects and Strategies
LONDON, Jan. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report:
LTE Home Broadband Services in CEE: Prospects and Strategies
This IDC study analyzes the market potential in Central and Eastern Europe for operators to sell home broadband connections over LTE networks. It reviews the reasons that CEE markets could be primed for LTE to develop as a technology for delivering home broadband connections, and considers the inhibitors to this occurring. It analyzes the limited experiences that operators have had selling LTE as a home broadband service in other markets, and offers recommendations for how CEE operators can best prepare and position LTE as a home broadband technology.
"LTE offers CEE operators a network technology that they can use for bringing home broadband services to consumers who are underserved in terms of connectivity. Operators in the region may be able to use LTE home broadband to reach consumers and revenue pools that they cannot otherwise access, but the potential is largely longer term in nature. CEE operators will have to be patient, carefully match their LTE home broadband services to untapped consumer demand, and look for cost efficiencies at the CAPEX and OPEX levels." - Senior Research Analyst Matthew Marden, IDC CEMA
