About this industry
Industry definition
Die Branche der leitungsgebundenen Telekommunikation stand in den letzten Jahren vor einer Reihe von Herausforderungen. Seit dem Aufkommen von Mobilfunkdiensten steht die Branche in einem intensiven Wettbewerb mit Mobilfunkbetreibern. Darüber hinaus befinden sich die Branchenakteure im Wettbewerb mit den Internetprovidern. Dies zwingt die Anbieter von leitungsgebundenen Telekommunikationsdiensten, die Preise für ihre Dienstleistungen zu senken, was einen negativen Einfluss auf die Umsatzentwicklung der Branche hat. Ein weiterer Faktor, der sich stark negativ auf die Umsätze der Branche auswirkt, sind OTT-Dienste. Mit ihnen ist es möglich, über das Internet kostenlos Daten zu übermitteln oder zu telefonieren. Verschärfend kommt hinzu, dass OTT-Dienste im Gegensatz zur leitungsgebundenen Telekommunikation nicht von Regulierungen betroffen sind. Seit 2019 stiegen die Umsätze im Durchschnitt um 1,1 % pro Jahr und werden sich im aktuellen Jahr voraussichtlich auf 45,4 Milliarden Euro belaufen.
