www.companiesandmarkets.com adds new report - Triple play and service bundling - strategies in the European market www.companiesandmarkets.com/Summary-Market-Report/Triple-play-an ..
Triple play is only one of several service bundles which is playing an increasingly important role in telecoms market development. Moreover, broadband has emerged as the central hub of the bundling trend. There are two main reasons for this:
-broadband subscriptions comprise the fastest-growing sector of the European telecoms market
-with broadband, it is possible to deliver
all the fixed-line elements of a service bundle over the same access technology.
For the purposes of this report, we consider service bundles comprising broadband and one or more of the following other services:
-landline telephony
-home TV
-mobile.
