Latin America Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Forecasts 2017-2021 - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Latin America - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband Forecasts" report to their offering.

Providing a series of forecasts for subscriber growth in an extensive range of markets in Latin America, this market report predominantly covers the fixed line, broadband and mobile subscriber market segments. This edition covers 15 countries across the region.

Although the Latin American and Caribbean region covers a wide range of countries, the telecoms sector within the region is broadly similar in terms of penetration of services and market maturity. Some countries, in particular Brazil and Venezuela, are struggling with a prolonged economic downturn which has grievously affected the ability of local telcos to fund network investment. On the whole, though, the size of the overall market in the region, and its potential for ongoin growth, continues to attract investment from international telcos and vendors.

Much of the stimulus for investment in fibre broadband is provided by competitive pressure, as well as encouragement from governments which, like their European and North American counterparts, have instituted plans to build national broadband networks. These are aimed at closing the digital divide between urban and rural areas, and at enabling all citizens to make greater use of the socio-economic benefits provided by access to fast broadband infrastructure.

Although there is a multiplicity of operators in the region, many countries have a core number of key providers, including the local business units of América Móvil (News - Alert) and Telefónica, as also Millicom International (operating in six markets), and AT&T, which has expanded in Mexico and operates the largest pay TV company in the region (DirecTV (News - Alert)).
