Venezuela Mobile Communications and Mobile Data Market Report Highlights How Mobile Telephony In Venezuela Has Been Far More Dynamic Than The Fixed-Line Market


DUBLIN, Ireland --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/630dfd/venezuela_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Venezuela - Mobile Communications and Mobile Data Market" report to their offering.



Mobile telephony in Venezuela has been far more dynamic than the fixed-line market, so much so that mobile phones outnumber fixed lines in service by around 4.6 to one. Mobile penetration is among the highest in Latin America, trailing only Argentina, Uruguay, and a number of Caribbean islands. Venezuela is also a regional leader in terms of SMS traffic, the number of text messages surpassing the number of minutes an average Venezuelan talks on a mobile phone. The country remains one of the last bastions of CDMA in Latin America, but the two leading mobile operators, Movilnet and Movistar, are finally turning to GSM. The third operator, Digitel, offers only GSM services. This report provides an overview of Venezuela's mobile market, accompanied by statistical data and brief profiles of the operators.
