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

GUEST COLUMN - More spectrum, for whom?"
Mexico's antitrust authority CFC (Cofeco) recently won a legal battle upholding its decision to allow bidders no more than 35MHz of 1900MHz spectrum that was auctioned in 2005. This puts an end to temporary injunctions that allowed bidders to claim up to 65MHz and means the government must now re-auction any spectrum awarded in excess of the 35MHz permitted. more
