Brazilian Internet
Usage, Broadband and Telecommunications Market
Reports
Brazil - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and
Digital Media
Supported by a population of over 204 million, the Brazilian telecoms market is among the
largest in Latin America. Telecoms revenue has been adversely affected by the ongoing
economic crisis which has dented consumer confidence and reduced spend on services.Report Summary
Brazil - Digital Economy and Digital Media Statistics and
Analyses
Brazil's digital media market is the largest in Latin America. In recent years the main
operators have successfully developed quad-play services incorporating fixed line and
mobile voice and data services as well as broadband and TV offerings. There is considerable
room for further growth, which has encouraged investors such as AT&T to gain a foothold
in the market. This activity was also stimulated by the pay TV law of 2011 which removed
restrictions on foreign investment and on telcos being able to provide pay TV services
alongside broadcasters.Report Summary
Brazil - Fixed Broadband Market, Statistics and
Analyses
Brazil has one of the largest broadband markets in Latin America, though broadband penetration
is only slightly above the Latin American average, trailing behind neighbouring Chile,
Argentina, and Uruguay.Report Summary
Brazil - Mobile Infrastructure, Broadband Operators, Statistics and
Analyses
Brazil has one of the largest mobile markets in Latin America, with four major mobile
operators offering a range of voice and data services. All four operators have secured
spectrum in the 2.5GHz band with which they are expanding their LTE networks and
so capitalising on consumer demand for mobile data services.Report Summary
Brazil - Telecoms, Infrastructure, Operators, Regulations, Statistics and Analyses
The Brazilian fixed-line market has been adversely affected by consumers substituting
services for mobile and VoIP solutions. Teledensity, at about 20%, is slightly higher
than average for Latin America but less than half the rate found in other advanced economies.Report Summary

Brazil Internet
Usage
Brazilian residential internet
users have nearly double in the last three years. The number of
people with internet access at home reached 35.5 million in June,
almost twice the 18.3 million registered in June 2005, according
to an Ibope/ NetRatings study released July 23, 2008.
The number of active residential users, aka those who used the
internet at home at least once during June, was 22.9 million,
also nearly double the 11.5 million registered in June 2005. The
Brazilian government approved in June, 2005 a law that gave
fiscal incentives to increase the competitiveness in the computer
market, this measure resulted in a surge in computer sales.
On another hand, the average time that Brazilians spend on the
internet per month jumped from 16 hours and 54 minutes in June
2005 to 23 hours and 12 minutes in June 2008, a rise of 39.8
percent. The figure, however, is lower than in May, 2008, when
Brazilians had an average online time of 23 hours and 48 minutes,
but it is enough to maintain Brazil as the world country where
people spend most time surfing the internet at home. By the way,
Germans are the runner-ups spending an average of 20 hours and 11
minutes online per month at home.
