Telecommunications Report for
Honduras
Honduras has the fourth
lowest fixed-line penetration in Latin America. The government
pledged to increase telecom competition prior to the
market’s full liberalisation scheduled for December 2005.
In September 2003, it launched the ‘Telephony For
All’ program, which allows new operators to provide local
telephone services by becoming partners of Hondutel, the
state-owned fixed-line incumbent. Millicom subsidiary Celtel was
the only mobile operator until late 2003. Mobile telephony
received a boost in 2004, following the November 2003 launch of a
second mobile provider, Sercom (then known as Megatel), and the
entry of América Móvil into the Honduran market when it
acquired 100% of Sercom in June 2004. Get this report
