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

Number Portability Outlook in Latin America and the Caribbean

Number portability (NP) is a policy that was included in regulatory frameworks during the process of opening up fixed telephony markets in Latin America at the end of the 1990's, or more recently, via Free Trade agreements signed with the U.S. In both cases, the implementation of NP has not been obligatory, meaning that specific regulation is required. Furthermore, this should be understood only as an expression of good will until market evolution justifies the addition of this service offering. Prior to the launch of Number Portability  in Mexico, in July of 2008, this policy was only in place in Puerto Rico. This is because, as a territory of the U.S., it is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).  more
