Quality not quantity for Entel Chile as new growth dries up
Both net additions and growth figures at Chilean incumbent Entel have fallen to record lows for the second successive quarter. The size of the potential market for new additions looks to be steadily decreasing in the country as the penetration rate approaches 100%; telefonica Moviles may yet be in with a surprise, but we doubt it. Entel's situation was also worsened this quarter by the fact that America Movil's Chilean operation took a greater share of the new connections than its larger competitor for the first time in six quarters - although the size of the premium this time (51k to 28k) versus that in Q1 07 (178k to 118k) indicates just how much new growth has dried up in that time. Entel's churn rates bear testament to this: churn actually hit a six-quarter low of 1.75% in Q3 08, and still net growth fell to its lowest ever level. more
