DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5b1d08/germany_major_te)
has announced the addition of the "Germany - Major Telecom Players"
report to their offering.

Germany has Europe's largest telecom market, supported by a large
and affluent population receptive to emerging technologies. Internet
use is higher that the EU average, though broadband lags behind.
Strong growth in the mobile sector since 2006 has pushed mobile
penetration to 112%, catching up with the EU average. The fixed
network and broadband markets in Germany are dominated by Deutsche
Telekom, though notable players including freenet/debitel, O2
(Telefonica), E-Plus (KPN) and Arcor (Vodafone) have gained market
share as the incumbent has struggled with poor recent performance.
This report presents operator statistics, and market analyses on
emerging trends in 2008.
