Uruguay Internet Usage, Broadband
and Market Reports
Uruguay - Telecoms
Market Overview & Statistics Report Despite still being a state-owned monopoly, Uruguay’s local fixed
line market has achieved the highest teledensity in Latin America bar a few of the
wealthier Caribbean islands, but the number of fixed lines in service has started to
decline in favour of mobile phones. The country is also one of the regional leaders in
other key indicators, such as Internet penetration and adult literacy. Competition in
Uruguay’s mobile market is intense. All three mobile operators (state-owned Ancel,
Telefónica’s Movistar, and America Movil CTI Móvil) have launched 3G services.
Uruguay is the first Latin American country to have adopted Europe’s DVB standard
for digital TV. This report provides an overview of the country’s telecom sector
accompanied by relevant statistics and analyses. See table of
