Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lkpzzm/israel_telecom) has announced the addition of the "Israel Telecom Country Report 2012" report to their offering.

This Country Report and accompanying data annex provide a comprehensive overview of Israel's telecoms market, including KPIs and data on subscribers, penetration, revenue and ARPU. The Report analyses the strategies of major players in the country's fixed and mobile telecoms markets, and includes market share data and operators' infrastructure status. It also includes an analysis of the market outlook, focusing on the following trends and emerging opportunities.

- A reduction in mobile termination rates (MTRs) has had material impact on mobile revenue.

- The removal of early termination fines and handset locking has contributed to price erosion and has resulted in a notable increase in churn among postpaid subscribers.

- New entrants have resulted in intense competition and downward pressure on pricing.

- A relaxation of regulation has paved the way for market consolidation, allowing service providers to offer service bundles.
