This report is available to those subscribed to the Mobile Operators and Networks module.
An update on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs
The Region in Focus series provides an essential quarterly briefing on industry developments, market insights and country KPIs for mobile markets around the world. European operators have been slower to deploy and execute on 5G than their counterparts in East Asia, the GCC states and North America. This reflects the challenging operating environment facing operators in Europe, characterised by market fragmentation and low ARPU growth. Against this backdrop, the most recent quarter saw renewed calls for policy changes and growing levels of M&A activity.
