The biggest change in the first half of 2020 is that the coronavirus epidemic and control of its spread have also determined communications consumption patterns, the report highlighted.

The completion of Vodafoneʼs acquisition of UPC, a former virtual service provider without its own mobile network, was another significant market development.
