While there is no new regulatory data available this quarter, BMI has updated our forecasts
for the mobile, mobile ARPU and fixed-line markets based on fresh data sourced from
Denmark's fixed-line, mobile and broadband operators, supplementing earlier data from the
National IT and Telecom Agency (NITA). In addition to updated Denmark
Telecommunications Market forecasts and data analysis, we have included operator tables
for converged service provision for the first time, detailing the recent performance of the
incumbent, TDC’s and TeliaSonera’s wireline performance.
Following four quarters of successive subscriber losses from Q210 to Q111, losing a total of
a quarter of a million subscribers, the mobile market returned to growth in Q211. There
were 173,00 net additions, taking the total to 6.836mn. However, with penetration
remaining above 120% we do not believe this quarter of net additions signals a return to
growth in the market. Instead we expect the market to continue to experience subscriber
losses over the medium term, punctuated by quarters of net additions. It is not possible to
forecast when inactive subscriber discounting will occur, and we therefore forecast slow
steady declines in subscriptions However, in reality we expect quarterly growth to
demonstrate considerably more volatility.

Meanwhile, the market for traditional fixed-line services based on PSTN and ISDN
technology has been shrinking, due to the growing use of substitute services such as mobile
broadband. During the next five years, we forecast that Denmark’s fixed-line market will
shrink at annual average growth of 5.8%.Within fixed-line we expect VoIP to account for an
increasing share of total subscriptions as customers are attracted to the service through
bundled service packages including pay-TV and broadband services. By the end of 2015 we
expect penetration to fall to 33.2% (new population forecasts resulted in higher penetration
rates despite reining in of our fixed-line usage forecasts even further). Denmark's fixed
broadband market appears to heading for a downtrend with TDC and Telenor reporting
subscriber net losses despite efforts to offer a wider range of attractively-priced bundles.
BMI believes the decline in fixed broadband subscriptions is the result of increased use of
wireless broadband access technologies.
The use of xDSL fixed broadband services is not yet in decline. However, growth has slowed
considerably to about 1.5% a year and it is mobile broadband that now accounts for the
majority of net additions. Fibre, which is now the third-largest form of fixed broadband
access, is growing steadily, as is WIMAX. However, the latter is starting from a much
smaller user base and is likely to fall from favour as UMTS/LTE technologies become more
widely used. In the long term, although we expect slow growth in fixed broadband, we do
not expect growth to turn negative because we believe it will be supported by the
proliferation of converged services that bundle broadband with pay-TV and fixed voice
services. We forecast the overall broadband market will serve almost 4mn subscribers by
2015, with mobile connections likely to be accounting for more than half of those
subscribers.
