The Broadband market continued to enjoy strong momentum after aggressive price promotions in 2007 by alternative operators for the launch of their Bit-Stream Access (BSA)-based offers. According to the Group’s estimates, market value rose 19.4% with volume up 17.2% year-on-year despite slowdown of the household penetration rate at 36.2%, up only 5.0 percentage points year-on-year.
TP’s maintains leadership with a value market share of 49.7%. Broadband revenue growth (+15.3%) was driven by the year-on-year increase of the subscriber base, with almost stable retail ARPU thanks to the upgrade to higher bandwidth and the up selling of value-added services (TV-over-DSL, Video-on-Demand, Voice-Over-IP, triple play offers, new pay-TV packages). Livebox, being an enabler for these services, has increased its penetration among our retail subscriber to 21% from 15% a year ago. Quarter-on-quarter customer acquisition was temporarily impacted by the stabilisation period of the provisioning system which was migrated and integrated with the CRM at the end of the first quarter.
