London 9th August 2008:  Mobile Broadband is set to be the main growth area for 2008 into 2009 with Mobile Broadband subscribers subscribers in Portugal overtaking Fixed Broadband user numbers. Other European countries will follow. Triple Play services offered by the incumbent telecoms operators are becoming more competitive, with the price advantage of triple-play bundled services (usually a package of telephony, broadband and TV services) against their unbundled service equivalent now ranging from 12 to 35 per cent across 8 major European countries.

London, 5th August 2008: European Data Centres continue to attract new investment with stable pricing but projected industrial electricity increases of up to 23 per cent for the first half of 2008 casts a dark cloud over the sector – finds Tariff Consultancy Ltd survey.
