19 • The lower penetration of the broadband Internet access subscriptions compared to the EU average, • ADSL technology has the largest share in broadband subscription – 63%, but in the past five years its share is in downfall, • Higher number of installed and active FTTH/B connections, with their current share in the number of active connections amounting to 9,3%, • A larger share of broadband connections via KDS, which currently equals 21,2%, • The share of the rest of the technologies is 6,5%, • Broadband infrastructure competition exists only in urban areas, • Good coverage of the population with 3G mobile networks signal and growth of the LTE coverage. The main features of the current state of development of the broadband infrastructure through the NGA technologies are the following: • Significant investment in FTTH network in some parts of the urban areas; • Until recently, the investment in advanced KDS infrastruc- ture (HFC, DOCSIS 3.0) has been mainly focused on some parts of the largest urban areas. However, in recent period it spread to suburban areas; • The lack of recognition of the importance of fast development of fixed NGA networks and broadband mobile networks by certain local governments, required for adequate planning and issuing of necessary permits for their construction. • Fixed electronic communication network infrastructure Operators have developed their own transport networks, used with the aim of connecting different elements within their networks. The transport section of the operators’ network (the backbone) is based on SDH, DWDM and MPLS technologies and transport systems, which are realized through fiber optic cables and radio relay links as physical mediums for signal transport. For the realization of the transfer system, mobile operators partly use the fiber optic cables leased from the infrastructure operators. The access section of the fixed network in Montenegro is still predominantly based on telecommunication cables with copper wires and coaxial cables. The largest operators have implemented IMS (IP Multimedia
