Ecuador - Telecoms Market
Overview & Statistics Report
The Ecuadorian fixed-line market was
liberalised in January 2002, but competition is slow to develop,
hampered by the dominance of state-owned Andinatel and
Pacifictel. Repeated privatisation attempts have failed, and the
regulator is looking for a foreign company to take over the
management of both operators. Fixed-line teledensity (12.5%) is
one of the lowest in South America. This, together with
regulatory, technological and competitive developments, combine
to make the Ecuadorian telecom industry an attractive financial
opportunity for investors. The mobile phone market, for example,
increased by 50% to 80% a year during 2001-2004. Growth does not
appear to have even slowed down during the recession. In early
2005, mobile penetration was well over double the fixed-line
rate. See the table of
