Ecuador Telecommunications Market Overview
Overview and Statistics
Ecuador's telecom indicators lag considerably behind those
of other Latin American countries. The country has seven fixed-line operators, but
state-owned Andinatel and Pacifictel dominate the market. Remote mountainous areas
make the cost of laying out copper prohibitive, and a large portion of the country has
little or no fixed telephone coverage. Wireless solutions have been used to resolve some
of the problems. The mobile telephony market is the most dynamic telecom sector, but
the government has threatened not to renew the licences of America Movil and Telefonica,
which expire in 2008. America Movil is accused of evading taxes and offering unsatisfactory,
overpriced services. This report provides an overview of the Ecuador's telecom sector
accompanied by relevant statistics and analyses. See table of
