20 March, 2001 / EUROPEAN REGIONAL BROADBAND MARKET WILL PEAK AT $4.9 BILLION IN 2005 Ovum

Broadband Magazine is a European business magazine for senior strategic and technical management within the converging global communications industry. Because 'broadband' transmissions speeds have become technology-neutral, Broadband Magazine's editorial scope encompasses the five main pillars of the industry: telecoms, satellite, cable, wireless and digital broadcasting.

Within this overall framework of the communications industry, Broadband Magazine is then organised around the four key areas of: broadband content / service creation, distribution, local access and user platforms; including the host of other services which feed off this value chain.

The Magazine is organised in this way because Broadband recognises that it is no longer enough to be expert and up-to-date in one particular field - industry professionals need to know what is happening in the other sectors to identify opportunities that technical / service convergence affords.

Aside from cutting edge reporting from the communication industry's frontline, Broadband provides monthly updates on the latest news from the increasing number of standards bodies, associations and industry regulators - and the consequences their actions have on the wider industry.

In short, the depth and breadth of Broadband Magazine's editorial coverage brings clarity, focus and explanation to an increasingly complex and diverse industry.
