Brazil - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and
Forecasts
Brazil dominates the Latin American Internet market in terms of
user numbers. In terms of penetration, it occupies approximately
the third place, behind Uruguay and Chile and slightly ahead of
Argentina. Since 2002, Brazil has experienced a growing migration
from dial-up to broadband. While virtually all cable TV companies
offer cable modem services, ADSL is the access technology of
choice, accounting for 84% of the country’s broadband
market. Convergence strategies are gaining popularity in Brazil.
With the widespread development of VoIP, more and more companies
are looking to incorporate Internet telephony with their
broadband offerings. In October 2004, TV Cidade and TVA were the
first Brazilian operators to adopt the triple play strategy,
combining VoIP, broadband and pay TV services. Report Summary
Brazil - Key Statistics, Telecom Market and Regulatory
Overview
Since mid-2003, the Brazilian telecom market has enjoyed a period
of outstanding growth, led by mobile telephony and broadband.
However, while the mobile and broadband continue to boom, local
fixed-line telephony stagnates, despite low teledensity. As in
most other Latin American countries and despite government
efforts, Brazil’s fixed lines are still dominated by the
incumbents in their respective regions. New entrants,
particularly in the fixed-line sector, still find it hard to
establish a footing. Rules for line sharing were published in May
2004, and were welcomed by companies striving to compete with the
incumbents. In order to promote competition, further changes are
needed in the country’s interconnection policy, local loop
unbundling and number portability. Report Summary
Portugal Telecoms, IP Networks, Digital Media and
Telecommunications Forecasts
Portugal’s mid-sized telecom market has one of the highest contributions to
GDP in the EU, indicative of the importance placed on Portugal’s telecom sector.
The country has been among the most affected by the general economic crisis: the
government’s debt reached €128 billion by early 2011 while debt as a percentage
of GDP reached above 76% (above the EU recommended maximum of 60%). See table of
contents and executive summary.
