Belgium Telecoms Market Report 2024 - Belgium's Mobile Market Benefitting from Greater Price Competition
Dublin, June 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Belgium Telecoms Market Report - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband - Statistics and Analyses" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Belgium's mobile market is served by the four network operators Proximus, Orange Belgium, Telenet, and Digi Belgium, as well as a small number of MVNOs. Mobile networks have been upgraded to support increased mobile data use among subscribers, with near-comprehensive LTE coverage. Following some delays resulting from concerns over potential radiation, the MNOs have also launched 5G services (Telenet and Orange having done so only in early 2022). The delayed multi-band auction of 5G-suitable spectrum held in June 2022 enabled the licensees (including Digi Belgium, which became the country's fourth MNO alongside its partner Citymesh) to develop 5G services rapidly using sub-GHz spectrum.
There is effective competition in Belgium between the DSL and cable platforms, while in recent years government support has also encouraged investment in fibre networks. Telenet, supported by its parent Liberty Global, has extended the reach of services based on the DOCSIS3.1 standard, and is also expanding into Wallonia, while Proximus also has extensive fibre/VDSL and FttP deployments and is currently investing in 3 billion 'Fibre for Belgium' program through to 2027. While fibre remains a growing sector, cable is the dominant platform and DSL is slowly eroding as subscribers migrate to fibre as networks are expanded.
This report profiles Belgium's telecom market, including regulatory measures and the strategies of the main players. It also covers the fixed and wireless broadband markets, providing broadband subscriber forecasts and an assessment of technology deployments and investment plans. In addition, the report assesses Belgian's mobile voice and data markets, including statistics on the main players, as well as spectrum auction plans, recent developments regarding LTE, and operator strategies for expanding services based on 5G.
