Vienna, Austria (pte050/12.02.2003/18:36) - Every second internet service provider in Austria is on the verge of bankruptcy, according to a study by Arge, which examined the internet activities of around 70.000 organisations. http://www.argedaten.at The survey found that 140 of the 600 internet service providers are competing for contracts from the most attractive 500 big companies, four fifths of which use the services of more than one company.
Experts predict that the fierce price war will soon lead to a reduction in the number of internet service providers, as many are pushed into bankruptcy. The survey predicted that the price of internet services would not go much lower next year and that companies would seek to win new clients by offering services such as the atomisation of data, or by specialising in certain sectors and themes and by focussing on regions. According to the study, the relatively large number of internet service providers in Austria means that customers will continue to be able to dictate the price. Telekom Austria is the market leader with a 15 per cent share of the company internet share provider market followed by UTA and Inode with market shares of ten per cent.
