Mexico's Iusacell Loses 600,000 Customers Due to Clean-Up
The Mexican mobile market finished the year on 77.93m customers with a below-par performance for customer growth in Q4 2008. In fact, the quarterly increase of 2.24m was the smallest gain since Q2 06 and the smallest fourth-quarter gain in five years. The main cause of this was Iusacell's loss of 0.56m customers as the result of a customer clean-up programme. more

The Top Operators in Caribbean & LatAm by Subscriber Growth
Between them, the ten fastest growing operators in Latin America and the Caribbean added a total of over 52m new connections over the past year, or around two thirds of the regionÃ's 78m total. Quarter on quarter, the bias towards the industry leaders was even more pronounced, with 17.55m of the 19.0m or so new connections happening at the top end of the market. The quarter is somewhat atypical, due to the dismemberment of Telemig, which has boosted the numbers for both Vivo and TNL, but this is a region with an unusual concentration of power. more

Lat-Am Operators Pushing On-Net Traffic
According to a report from Signals Telecom Consulting, one strategy implemented by a variety of operators in different American mobile telephony markets has been to encourage communications within their own networks or "On Net". In order to accomplish this, these operators have developed differentiated rates structures for communications originated and ended on their networks. The objective is to encourage the concept of "community". The implementation of this policy can be seen in promotional campaigns carried out by Movistar in Argentina, Chile, Peru, etc. more

Who are the 20 Largest Operators in the Americas?
At the end of the September quarter, the ten largest networks in the Caribbean and Latin America region all had a minimum of 10 million customers. This remains the case in the current quarter, with those same ten and only those ten having passed this mark. In fact, the status quo is essentially undisturbed, with each of the ten remaining in the same place as they were three months earlier. In the light of this, we have decided to deviate slightly from our normal practice and to display the leading CALA operators together with their North American counterparts. more

Who are the Top 10 Operators in Lat-Am and The Caribbean?
The top 10 network operators in the Caribbean & Latin America region now all have over 10m customers as 10th placed Telecom Personal of Argentina crossed the 10m customer barrier in the quarter. The composition and order of the top 10 has remained unchanged throughout 2007, with Telecel in Mexico leading from Vivo and TIM in Brasil. telcel has pulled ahead of its rivals, extending its lead over Vivo from 12.0m customers at the end of September 2006 to 16.2m customers a year later, whilst TIM closed the gap between it and its domestic rival from 4.6m to 2.2m customers during the year. more

Who are the Fastest Growing Networks in Caribbean/Latin America?
The majority of the names on the list of the leading operators in Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) by customer numbers reappear on the list of the fastest growing - but not the first on the list. This is minor Mexican player Iusacell, which recorded 1.7m additions to take its total to 3.9m. However, the numbers have to be treated with caution - the vast majority of this growth came from the acquisition of Unefon which closed during the quarter. Without this, the number of new connections would have been below 0.5m - not enough to take a place in the top ten, let alone first. more

LatAm & Caribbean - Net Additions in the Quarter
After the fourth quarter of 2006, when no fewer than seven companies managed to add one million or more new subscribers in the final quarter alone, the first quarter of the new year was always likely to be a bit dull. Only one company passed the million mark, though three others came close and ten managed more than half a million. The comparisons between Q1 07 and Q4 06 is instructive - only one of the ten fastest growing businesses added more customers in the March quarter, while on average, 31% fewer connections were made. This, we would suggest, is both a seasonal phenomenon, but also an indication that some of these markets are beginning to reach maturity. more

Who are the Largest Operators in Lat-Am & Caribbean?
There has not been any change to the ten largest companies in the Caribbean and Latin America over the last quarter region and in fact, neither has there been any change to the overall positioning. However, the quarterly rate of growth that these ten companies are achieving varies quite dramatically - from a low of -0.1% to a high of 16% - so it is likely that there will be changes in the future. As before, America Movil owns four of the top ten and Telefonica three, while Telecom Italia controls one and has a minority interest in another. The last of the ten is independent, or rather, is the mobile subsidiary of a Brazilian regional wireline operator. more

Top 10 Operators in Latin America
Together, America Movil and Telefonica continue to dominate the Latin American market. The Mexican company owns four of the largest operators in the region, while Telefonica accounts for another three. Telecom Italia is the only other company that has an investment in more than one business, with majority control of TIM Brasil and a stake in Argentina's Telecom Personal. Since we last reviewed the region, there has been little change in the overall order of the top ten operators and none in the top five. more

Top 10 LatAm Operators in Q3 2006
Two multinational groups dominate the Caribbean and Latin America region, América Móvil, the Mexican company controlled by Carlos Slim and Telefónica, the fourth largest operator in the world. Until very recently, the two were growing at approximately the same rate, but in the last couple of quarters, América Móvil has pulled away from Telefónica, thanks in large part to the slowing of growth in the latter's Brazilian associate, Vivo Participacoes. more
