Telekom Austria Group
 
Our strategy is achieving a steady increase in shareholder value

Fixed Net

The fixed net segment comprises voice telephony and the increasingly important business areas of data and IT solutions, Internet access, value-added and wholesale services.

The Telekom Austria Group is the leading telecommunications company in Austria. The product range in the fixed net segment covers the entire value chain from voice telephony to Internet access and digital television.

The market approach differentiates between the residential customer, business customer and wholesale segments. Voice telephony, data and IT solutions as well as wholesale, Internet access and media, wholesale voice telephony, Internet and value-added services have been defined as operational business areas.

Developments 2008

  • Decline in Revenues of 4.4 %
  • Successful Product Bundles Stem the Decline in Fixed Access Lines
  • Fixed Net Broadband Lines rose by 18 % to 885.700 (including Wholesale)

Fixed Net revenues decreased by 4.4% to EUR 2,038.8 million during 2008. Higher revenues in the data and IT solutions business were only partly able to compensate for the negative development of fixed net voice telephony and internet access.

The importance of broadband technology and the business areas that rely upon it continues to increase. The company is also pushing ahead with the development of innovative products such as aonTV in the multimedia segment and additional services such as aonAlarmServices to enhance the attractiveness of fixed access lines.

Due to the successful sale of product bundles, the decline in the number of fixed access lines was substantially curtailed. The segment reported fixed access line net additions in November and December 2008 for the first time after twelve years as a result of a Christmas marketing offensive.
 
In cooperation with reliable partners, Telekom Austria is the market leader for voice over IP telephony in the business customer segment. The focus on eastern Europe has reaped success in the international wholesale business. In 2006, Croatia and Romania were connected to the Telekom Austria JetStream optical fiber ring, substantially increasing transit revenues.
