Abstract
This document analyzes the Western European DSL equipment market in 2007. It
focuses on vendor market shares for both network equipment (e.g., DSL access
multiplexer [DSLAM] and other forms of public DSL access) and customer premises
equipment (CPE). Public access is defined as termination into an Internet
service provider (ISP), public telephone operator (PTO), or other network
service provider. Vendors' market shares are calculated according to unit
shipments and end-user revenues. In addition, vendors' shares are divided on a
country-by-country basis. Furthermore, network equipment is divided by
technology, while CPEs are separated by form factor.
"As decreasing levels of subscriber additions have started to inhibit the
development of the DSL equipment market in Western Europe, it is high time for
vendors to start considering their strategic alternatives in this segment,"
said Jan Hein Bakkers, research manager at IDC' s European Telecommunication and
Networking team.
