[May 14, 2009] Research and Markets Adds Report: Dominican Republic - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts Tweet May 13, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Dominican Republic - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts" report to its offerings. In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: Although enjoying a relatively modern and mostly digital telecom system, the Dominican Republic's fixed-line teledensity is well below the Latin American average. Mobile penetration is nearly seven times higher than fixed-line teledensity, and is about average for Latin America. The Dominican Republic's income inequalities are still reflected in its telephone distribution; some people own multiple mobile phones each, yet there are communities comprising hundreds of families without access to a single phone line. The Dominican Republican government has been aggressively addressing the issue of access with a number of projects and a major broadband deployment partnership with incumbent Codetel. Following the economic recovery of 2005-2007, investments in emerging services such as wireless broadband and VoIP gathered pace. This report contains overviews, analyses and statistics of the Dominican Republic's fixed-line, mobile and broadband markets. The report also discussed convergence issues and provides forecasts of broadband and mobile phone subscriber growth.
