ARE WE RELEVANT? Getting There
Investments Drive Competitive Advantage
Cable operators have invested
over €22bn into the network
over the past 6 years
In 2009, the Capex amounts to
23% of revenues
With these investments Cable
realizes the first encompassing
fibre-powered NGA

THE DIGITAL AGENDA –
Realizing the targets
The European Cable industry …
… already today covers 50% of EU households with 10 Mbps plus
… by 2013 will cover 51% of EU households with speeds of 100 Mbps and more
… will provide 100 Mbps services to a minimum of 27m, best case 51m subscribers by 2020*
… reaches out to small and medium enterprises with ultra high speed offers
… forces telecom incumbents to start investing again
*Source: Solon
Cable operators are leapfrogging DSL with DOCSIS 3.0 –
Already now Cable 2-6 times faster than best Incumbent offering
CABLE’S LEAD ON SPEED WILL FORCE TELECOM INCUMBENTS TO INVEST IN NGA

Bundling is a marketing concept, not a
market definition
• How on earth do you define it?
• More than 80 product combinations possible and everyone keeps offering single
play products as well
• Certain bundles are technically implied:
•For telcos it is difficult to offer IPTV without DSL
•For cable operators it is generally difficult to offer broadband, voice of DTV
without analogue
• Hence, bundling is also a tool to intensify infrastructure competition, to convince
customers to switch infrastructure
• Many cable operators achieve a 35% bundle ratio, but half of those are two-play
• Those ratios are changing, but slowly
•Triple Play Bundles

Three new 3P offers introduced Expanding 100 Mbps footprintIs Analogue Television Indispensable to
offer a bundle?
• Plenty
of new entrants have entered the television market with bundles using
IPTV, DTT and satellite
• DTT in the Netherlands achieved spectacular growth, totally outside a bundle
• Both in NL and Belgium over 1,2 million DTV customers were signed up in
previous years, telco incumbents achieving a 42% yoy growth in tv
• Analogue penetration in Belgium is down to 38% in 2011, expected to be at 17%
in 2013
•Digital TV is swiftly replacing analogue TV

Is there a competition problem? • TV prices in Europe are very low, even for very innovative services • Cable’s market position in typical historic CATV countries is fast eroding from 85% in 2006 to 70% in 2010 and 60% in 2013 • Competition is intense, leading to downward price pressure and a constant development of new features • Unlikely that bundles will ever be more expensive than the sum of the individual services •Even if a choice can be made which of the bundle options would be submitted to a SSNIPP test, it will not work, because customers could simply move back to 2- or 1- play services •

Source: BCG AnalysisConclusions
Cable’s investments in technology are paying off throughout Europe
Cable’s broadband competition is forcing incumbent telcos to invest again
Infrastructure competition is what Europe needs, regulated wholesale access is marginalising
Regulated access for telecom incumbents to analogue TV, DTV or broadband of cable operators,
would harm a very effective wireline competition just starting and would take a way an essential
incentive to invest by these incumbents themselves
Bundling is a marketing concept, not a market definition
Analogue TV is not an indispensable element of any bundle
TV distribution markets in Europe are extremely competitive
If anything, bundling makes these markets more competitive, certainly when the mobile component is
added to the bundleYou can also read
