Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2014 -- The UK is the largest communications market in Western Europe, boasting service revenue of US$60bn in 2013. Mobile data was the largest contributor to growth in 2013, driven by network upgrades and skyrocketing smartphone and tablet adoption. This trend will intensify in 2014 as more users adopt LTE. The main driver on the fixed side will be the adoption of fiber-based services, benefitting BT the most. The UK pay-TV market, which will reach 68% household penetration in 2018, has become more competitive with the entry of new IPTV players and Liberty Global's recent acquisition of Virgin Media.
