Research and Markets: Germany - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/z4kxxb/germany_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Germany - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

“Germany - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts”

The German mobile market is the largest in Europe in terms of subscribers and revenue. Mobile penetration reached more than 135% by early 2011. In common with most markets the main area of growth is in the 3G sector.

The market is dominated by Telekom Deutschland and Vodafone, though an increasing number of resellers has fuelled competition and placed pressure on tariffs, resulting in lower ARPU. Regulatory pressure on voice roaming as well as termination rates will encouraged operators to further step-up their development of data applications to improve profits. T
