DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Latvia
– Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and Analyses”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
Latvia’s telecom market has been shaped by the European Union, with the
EU’s 2002 regulatory policies and the revised 2009 New Regulatory
Framework being adopted as core components of the sector’s regulatory
measures. The country is as also a member of the Economic and Monetary
Union of the EU and has adopted the euro as its national currency. It
became a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) in June 2016.
Latvia’s broadband market continues to suffer from inadequate progress
on local loop unbundling, though the government has stepped up its
efforts to build a national fibre broadband network, part-funded by the
European Commission (EC).
There is effective competition in the mobile market, with extensive LTE
services having been upgraded with LTE-A technologies to boost data
speeds. Operators such as Bit Latvia have also begun the process of
transitioning their networks to support services and applications based
on 5G, while spectrum auctions held at the end of 2017 and in September
2018 will allow the licensees LMT and Tele2 Latvia to provide commercial
5G services from 2019. There has also been greater development of
technologies to develop IoT (Internet of Things) applications, initially
in Riga, which will exploit 5G capabilities.
