Brazil Leads Lat-Am in Deployments, Connections and Demand for WiMAX and 3G Services

Signals Telecom Consulting has issued a commentary which notes that as from 2010 Brazil will account for the greatest number of WiMAX accesses in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, a position that it will keep in the medium term. Signals expects that the setting of regulations for the use of the 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands, plus the tendering of new bands, will provide a strong impulse to this technology in Brazil. Signals foresees the entry into the market of large-scale operators such as Telefónica (via TVA), which will use WiMAX to expand its area of operation outside Sao Paulo, and SKY (DirecTV), among others, which will join the current efforts being made by Embratel and Neovia. Signals expects that operators will carry out their own development to be able to add their own last mile.  more

Costa Rica: An Imperative for ICE to Implement Defensive Strategies

The recent passage of the General Telecommunications Law (LGT - Ley General de Telecomunicaciones) cleared the way for the entrance of new competitors into the Costa Rica mobile market. Signals Telecom Consulting points out that America Movil, Digicel, Millicom and Telefonica are the most important candidates for launching operations in a market that is attractive for various reasons: low mobile teledensity (less than 40%), high ARPU levels (the highest in Central America) and the absence of a prepaid market.  more

Mobile Telecoms Big and Small are Dialing Emerging Markets for Growth

Every day in emerging markets, more and more people are hearing the sound of cell phones ringing. Indeed, as mobile telecommunications markets in Western Europe become more commoditized and subscriber growth slows, established players from there and North America are increasingly moving into emerging markets to maintain their growth momentum.
