The communication services market is shaped by continuing developments in technology. These developments enable ever faster data transmission rates, both for landline and mobile phone sectors, and are considered one of the main drivers of digitalization. Since competition is fierce in the communication services market, revenue growth in the field of data transmission services can primarily be traced back to a general increase in access to the internet. At the same time, voice and video calls using the internet are now replacing classic landlines and mobile phone speech technology systems using the public telephone network. This results in declining revenues in these sectors in almost every country.
