Research and Markets: Telecoms and Technology Report Brazil 1st Quarter

Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ppqs5q/telecoms_and_techn) has announced the addition of the "Telecoms and Technology Report Brazil 1st Quarter" report to their offering.

Brazil is a fast-growing market for mobile telephony, and with 245m subscribers (January 2012) it is now the world's fifth-largest market (behind China, the US, Japan and Russia). Mobile penetration rates (at 125%) are above emerging-market averages, and will rise to 160% by 2016. Because of high calling costs, consumers have multiple phones to access cheaper calls within the fou main networks, and individual user penetration rates are lower (83%). This is also boosting sales of mobile units with multiple SIM card capacity.

Firm GDP growth, the development of technology and adoption by consumers and companies will increase mobile revenue to US$68bn by 2016, driven by a tripling of revenue from mobile data services as well the expansion of broadband internet access.

Broadband internet subscription rates are estimated at 9% and will rise to 14.5% by 2016, driven by government plans (the Plano Nacional de Banda Larga, or PNBL) to increase broadband Internet access.
