Telecommunications market of LuxembourgPhone Cards, Calling Cards |
| Luxembourg has a small but advanced telecom market. Mobile penetration is the highest in Europe, while broadband take-up is on a par with the EU average. The market was liberalised in 1998, although the implementation of regulatory reform has been slow. The incumbent, P&T Luxembourg, still dominates all market sectors. Growth continued in both the mobile and fixed line environment during 2005, albeit slower. 3G was launched in 2003, and the first appreciable broadband take-up occurred with growth in DSL services and the launch of the first digitised cable modem services. This report from Paul Budde introduces the major aspects of the telecoms market in Luxembourg in 2005 and early 2006, providing statistics for the fixed telephony, mobile, Internet, broadband and TV sectors. Additional information is provided on the key regulatory issues, noting the status of interconnection, Local Loop Unbundling, number portability and carrier preselection. WLAN and broadband powerline presence. |
