Estonia's telecom market continues to benefit from a range of regulatory
measures which have encouraged competition, enabling alternative
operators to chip away at the fixed-line market share of the incumbent
Telia. Fixed-line infrastructure upgrades have been geared to supporting
bundled offerings, and this process has prompted Telia to stop services
based on DSL by the end of 2020 and instead rely on infrastructure
geared to VDSL, fibre and G.fast, supplemented by LTE in rural areas.

The country has one of the most advanced mobile markets in Europe, the
result of considerable investment from the mobile network operators
Telia, Elisa and Tele2. The market enjoys effective competition between
these MNOs, although the MVNO sector remains underdeveloped. Operator
investment in new technologies has supported the fast-developing mobile
broadband sector. Telia and its vendor partners launched a 5G testbed in
January 2019 and the sector is expected to underpin revenue growth in
coming years once services become commercially available from about 2020.

Progressive government policies on broadband infrastructure and an
active regulatory regime have also contributed to Estonia has one of the
highest broadband penetration rates in Europe. Broadband is available
via a range of fixed-line and wireless technologies, with ADSL2+, FttP,
cable, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and HSPA/LTE platforms widely available. Elisa's
consolidation with the principal cableco Starman in April 2017 has
enabled the operator to offer a more comprehensive suite of bundled
services, and so compete more effectively with Telia.
