The flip side of this is that those mature markets have largely plateaued with their subscriber growth, while the UK still has a lot of headroom to expand.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the slowest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> subscriber growth (CAGR) is forecast for Iceland (+1.0%), Spain (+1.6%), Slovakia (+1.8%) and Romania (+2.0%) \u2014 markets already close to full coverage and high take-up.
