The report "European Broadband Service Market -- Competition Between the Retail Suppliers" presents a complete assessment of the use of broadband in the European countries. The report mentions the current regulatory and competitive environment that surrounds various technologies. It also focuses on the incumbent and alternative operators' strategies with a comparative analysis of the current situation in the U.S. and Europe.

By the end of March 2004, about 87% of the U.K. population had access to affordable broadband offerings like, cable modems, (FWA) Fixed Wireless Access or (DSL) Digital Subscriber Line. Research shows that the Europeans will be able to gain access to broadband Internet connections through upgraded phone networks by 2010, while cable television operators will see a decline in their market share by more than 15%.

Europe is undergoing buoyant broadband growth where low priced low-tier products have become very successful. A comparison of the current trends in the market is done with the past and the present situations. In 1999, only 0.2% of the European households had broadband Internet access, but gradually the numbers increased and are growing day by day. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology is more dominating because of the reach of the telephone lines in all homes. The telecom operators are gaining because of superior financial positions, scale, and brand strength.
