Abstract

In der vorliegenden Studie wird untersucht, wie sich die Preise für FTTB/H- und gigabitfähige Breitbandkabelprodukte auf dem deutschen Markt im internationalen Vergleich einordnen, wie sich die angebotenen Produktportfolios unterscheiden und welche Muster sich aus der länderübergreifenden Analyse ableiten lassen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Preise und produktbezogene Parameter in Deutschland und zehn weiteren europäischen Ländern mit unterschiedlich weit entwickelten Glasfaser- und Gigabitmärkten erhoben. Die niedrigsten kaufkraftbereinigten Preise für Produkte mit sehr hohen Bandbreiten beobachten wir in Frankreich, der Schweiz und Polen. Darunter sind mit Frankreich und der Schweiz zwei Länder, in denen besonders niederschwellige Zugangsmöglichkeiten für Vorleistungsnachfrager bestehen. Zugleich weisen diese beiden Länder auch verhältnismäßig hohe Take-up-Raten bei Gigabitgeschwindigkeiten auf. Über alle Bandbreiten hinweg legen unsere Ergebnisse nahe, dass mit zunehmender Entwicklung des Marktes in der Regel eine Homogenisierung des Preisniveaus über die unterschiedlichen Anbietertypen und Bandbreiten hinweg eintritt, mutmaßlich ebenfalls gefördert durch Infrastruktur- und vorleistungsbasierten Wettbewerb. Die Preise in Deutschland bewegen sich bei den hierzulande überwiegend nachgefragten Bandbreiten von 100 Mbit/s im Mittelfeld unseres internationalen Vergleichs. Auffällig sind die Aufschläge für FTTB/H Produkte in Bandbreiten, die mit aufgerüsteten xDSL-Netzen nicht bedient werden können. Dies gilt insbesondere für Gigabitprodukte. Dieses Preissetzungsverhalten deutet auf Abschöpfungsstrategien hin und könnte ein Indiz für wenig Vorleistungs- und Infrastrukturwettbewerb bei sehr hohen Bandbreiten sein. Auch wenn dieses Preissetzungsverhalten sicherlich in Teilen auf den frühen Entwicklungsstand des Marktes zurückzuführen ist, kann davon ein Penetrationsrisiko für die neu entstehenden FTTB/H-Netze ausgehen, insbesondere, wenn diese parallel zu aufgerüsteten xDSL-Infrastrukturen entstehen.
