Posted July 11, 2011

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8558c6/ireland_mobile_m) has announced the addition of the "Ireland - Mobile Market Insights, Statistics and Forecasts" report to their offering.

Ireland's mobile market has undergone considerable changes in recent years. The market remains dominated by a triopoly of service providers, all of which provide 3G services, but the entry of the first two MVNOs promises radical changes to market competition in coming years. Mobile broadband, on the back of expanding HSPA networks, has become very popular among consumers since the introduction of flat-rate data plans. The regulator has also announced its willingness to set aside UHF spectrum for possible use by mobile TV services from 2010. This report provides statistics and analysis on the Irish mobile market in 2011, including the key regulatory issues, a snapshot of the consumer market, emerging technologies, and the growth of mobile data services such as SMS and mobile TV.

Key developments: Tesco Mobile profit turnaround; Vodafone Ireland to increase investment 20% in 2012; regulator preparing 130MHz of sub-1GHz spectrum for mobile broadband; regulator data to end-2010; operator data to Q1 2011.
