ECTA: Real Broadband Driven by Alternative Providers
According to a survey presented by the ECTA, the European Competitive Telecommunications Association, Europe now has over 100 million broadband subscribers. The results of ECTA’s Broadband Scorecard also show that competitive providers, and not the large incumbents that own much of the telecoms infrastructure, are leading in provision of super broadband connection speeds above 10Mbps, as well as driving the uptake of high-tech services.
Speeds and services have become the next broadband battleground, according to the ECTA, which calls for open access to fiber to boost broadband speeds and services.

Also noteworthy: ETNO – the European incumbents’ association – is concerned about a slowdown in telecoms investments in 2007.
