Introduction and methodology
Periodically (every semester), ANCOM publishes - on its website - reports on the Romanian electronic communications sector. These reports aim at
showing both the global trends in the electronic communications sector and the trends of each category of electronic communications services.
The report on the Internet access services, leased line services and data transmission services, updated according to the statistical data for the 1
January – 30 June 2011 timeframe, as well as on their evolution, has been elaborated based upon the statistical data reported half-yearly, respectively
annually, by the providers of mobile telephone services, who have the obligation to send ANCOM the figures corresponding to the indicators of service
categories according to the ANCOM President’s Decision no. 1167/2011
1, as follows:
- until the 31
stof May, for the reporting period spanning from January 1
stthrough December 31
st, as far as the statistical data on revenues and
investments provided for in Annexes 1-14 are concerned;
- until the 10
thof August, for the reporting period spanning from January 1
stthrough June 30
th, respectively until the 10
thof February, for the
reporting period spanning from July 1
stthrough December 31
st, in the case of the other statistical data specified in Annexes 1-14, respectively
in Annex 15.
As for the data processing, analysis and presentation, the dynamics of the indicators are highlighted half-yearly and, in the case of the providers
who sent rectifications to the statistical data reported to the Authority for the previous periods, the report includes the correspondingly updated/corrected
indicators.
ANCOM hereby expresses its gratitude to the providers of Internet access services, leased line services and data transmission services who
reported statistical data to the Authority, thus contributing to the elaboration of this report, and invites the interested persons to submit comments on any
aspect that could improve the accuracy of the collected information or the data processing, analysis or presentation process, by e-mail, to
sasp@ancom.org.ro.

15 the FTTx technologies refer to FTTH/FTTB/FTTC/FTTN, depending on the proximity of the fiber optic to the end-user’s location, as follows:
FTTH (Fiber to the Home) = when the fiber optic segment reaches the end-user’s dwelling/location (fiber optic is at least 2 metres away from the end-user’s dwelling/location);
FTTB (Fiber to the Building) = when the fiber optic segment reaches the end-user’s building/boundary of the building, with the access being ensured via coaxial cable, UTP/FTP cable, radio, pairs of twisted metallic wires (e.g. VDSL) or via other means;
FTTC (Fiber to the Cabinet/Curb) = when the fiber optic segment reaches the street cabinet - fiber optic is at less than 300 m away from the end-user’s premises, with the final connection being ensured via coaxial cable, UTP/FTP cable, radio, pairs of twisted metallic wires (e.g. VDSL) or via other means;
FTTN (Fibre to the Node) = when the fiber optic segment reaches the street cabinet - fiber optic is at more than 300 m awayfrom the end-user’s premises, with the final connection being ensured via coaxial cable, UTP/FTP cable, radio, pairs of twisted metallic wires (e.g. VDSL) or via other means.
16 the maximum speed that may be reached at a given time, specified in the contracts concluded with the end-users; namely, the operators reported the connections for which the channel
bandwidth is not guaranteed, but varies due to endogeneous or exogeneous factors (number of users, traffic achieved, atmospherical conditions etc.; where the contracts concluded with the end-users for the symmetrical band connections specify only the guaranteed speed, the respective connections were reported depending upon it.

18 In the calculation of the number of leased lines - terminating segments and, respectively, -trunk segments, ANCOM considered also the terminating segments and, respectively, the trunk
segments corresponding to the number of leased lines - total circuits. Thus, for each leased line - total circuit sold at the wholesale level, one circuit - trunk segment and two circuits - terminating segments were considered.
