Venezuela - Convergence,
Broadband and Internet Market Report
Internet penetration in Venezuela is lower average for Latin America,
which leaves considerable room for growth considering that the countryés GDP per
capita is the highest in the region except for a few Caribbean islands. Broadband growth
has been topping 50% a year. Fixed-line incumbent CANTV dominates the broadband market
with its ADSL service. Triple player Inter is the number two broadband provider and
cable TV market leader. MovilMax is pioneering WiMAX Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) technology,
having launched Latin Americaés first residential broadband services using mobile
WiMAX technology based on the 802.16d wireless transmission standard. This report
provides an overview of Venezuelaés Internet, broadband, and broadcasting market,
accompanied by statistical data. See report summary

Venezuela - Key Statistics,
Regulatory Overview and Fixed Network Markets
Venezuela’s fixed-line teledensity is only slightly higher
than average for Latin America – a poor performance based on the country’s GDP per
capita, the highest in the region bar a few Caribbean islands. Since 2007, however, fixed
lines in service have been growing by more than 20% annually, one of the fastest growth
rates in the region. Based on the principle that access to telecommunications is a
fundamental human right, the renationalised incumbent CANTV has been expanding the reach
of its telephone network to municipalities with no telecom services, and has been
rolling out lines in under-serviced areas. This report provides an overview of Venezuela’s
telecom infrastructure and regulatory environment, together with brief profiles of the
main fixed network operators and statistical data. See executive summary
here.
Venezuela - Mobile
Communications and Mobile Data Market Report
Mobile telephony in Venezuela has been far more dynamic than the
fixed-line market, so much so that mobile phones outnumber fixed lines in service by
around 4.6 to one. Mobile penetration is among the highest in Latin America, trailing
only Argentina, Uruguay, and a number of Caribbean islands. Venezuela is also a regional
leader in terms of SMS traffic, the number of text messages surpassing the number of
minutes an average Venezuelan talks on a mobile phone. The country remains one of the
last bastions of CDMA in Latin America, but the two leading mobile operators, Movilnet
and Movistar, are finally turning to GSM. The third operator, Digitel, offers only GSM
services. This report provides an overview of Venezuela’s mobile market, accompanied by
statistical data and brief profiles of the operators. See report summary
here.
