LATIN AMERICA
- The Latin American and Caribbean economy grew by 4.5% in 2005, and the
region' s per capita GDP is estimated to have risen by about 3%. All Latin
American countries recorded positive growth rates, ranging from 1.8% in Haiti
to 9.3% in Venezuela.
- Economic expansion is expected to continue unabated in 2006, and ease
slightly in 2007. GDP growth for Latin America and the Caribbean is projected
to be 4.6% in 2006, and 4.1% in 2007.
- The drive towards consolidation, witnessed in 2004, continued in
2005-2006, with America Movil buying mobile operations in Chile, Peru, and
Paraguay; Telecom Italia divesting its investments in Chile, Peru, and
Venezuela; and Verizon deciding to pull out of the region altogether. In April
2006, Verizon agreed to sell Verizon Dominicana (Dominican Republic),
Telecomunicaciones de Puerto Rico, and CANTV (Venezuela) to America Movil and
Telmex.
- Despite a low 17% average teledensity in the whole Latin American and
Caribbean region, fixed-line growth continued to stagnate over the last 12
months. Telecom infrastructure varies greatly from country to country and from
urban to rural areas.
- There is a marked trend towards the use of alternative systems in
fixed-line telephony, especially Wireless Local Loop (WLL) and Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP).
- Broadband grew at an annual rate of around 75% in 2005, making Latin
America one of the world' s fastest growing regions in terms of broadband
uptake. However, it still accounts for only 3.9% of the world' s broadband pie.
- Latin America' s Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) subscriber
numbers continued to soar in 2005, growing by 88%, while cable modems and
other broadband technologies grew at the more modest rate of 50%.
- The Latin American broadband leaders are Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and
Chile, and in early 2006, these four countries accounted for about 90% of all
broadband subscribers in the region.
- In 2005, Latin America was only second to Asia in rolling out WiMAX
networks. By April 2006, WiMAX systems were operating in Argentina, Brazil,
the Caribbean, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala,
Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
- In March 2005, Chile' s VTR was the first company in Latin America to
launch Broadband Powerline (BPL) services commercially, for its residential
clients.
- 2005 was a big year for triple play in Latin America, with several
countries seeing this strategy for the first time. By early 2006, triple play
services had either been launched, or were planned, in the following markets:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,
Panama, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Uruguay.
- Latin American cable TV grew about 8% during 2005; the best performers
were Mexico (+14%), Brazil (+13%), and Colombia (+12%).
- Latin America may see the first deployments of IPTV in 2006, with Brazil,
Chile, and Argentina at the forefront. Broadband penetration in the region,
however, is still low, and broadband TV is unlikely to become a reality in
Latin America until 2007.
- In mid-2005, Brazil' s Telemar conducted a trial of triple play services
that included IPTV. Telemar stated that it would make IP-based television
available to its customers in the course of 2006. Brasil Telecom also
announced that it planned to launch IPTV before the end of 2006. A few Chilean
telecom operators are carrying out preliminary IPTV tests.
- TV companies in Mexico began to offer Latin America' s first
High-Definition TV (HDTV) services in 2005, following the government' s formal
approval of the ATSC standard for Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT) in July 2004.
- In January 2006, the government of Brazil announced plans to conduct DTT
tests in June 2006, and launch commercial transmissions in the following
September. Brazil signed an agreement with Japan, in April 2006, for the
adoption of the Japanese ISDB standard for DTT. Argentina is likely to adopt
the same DTT standard as Brazil, and may begin digital TV services in late
2006.
- While fixed lines stagnate, the mobile market continues to grow. In early
2006, there were around 241 million mobile phones in Latin America compared
with approximately 96 million fixed-line phones. Paraguay leads the trend,
with five times more mobile than fixed-line subscribers.
- Mobile telephony has become one of the fastest growing industries in Latin
America, surging by 42% in 2004 and by 38% in 2005.
- Regional mobile penetration stood at around 43% in early 2006, but varies
greatly from country to country, with Jamaica,Chile, and Argentina recording
the highest rates (apart from the small Caribbean islands) at around 93%, 70%,
and 54% respectively, while Haiti and Cuba languish at 5% and 1% respectively.
Some of the Caribbean islands have mobile penetration rates of over 100%, the
highest of all being Turks & Caicos at 230%.
- In early 2006, three multinational operators served about 77% of Latin
America' s mobile market: America Movil, Telefonica Moviles, and Telecom Italia
Mobile (TIM).
- In April 2005, Telefonica Moviles adopted the Movistar brandname for all
of its operations (except for Brazil, where the Vivo brand was retained) in
order to create a unified image internationally. The company manages companies
in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
- TDMA, traditionally the leading mobile technology in Latin America, was
overtaken by GSM in March 2005, and by CDMA in late 2005. The number of TDMA
subscribers in the region has been falling since 2004.
- In 2005, TDMA subscribers decreased by 21%, CDMA subscribers increased by
41%, and GSM subscribers soared by 133%.
- At end-2005, the number of GSM subscriber was more than double the number
of CDMA subscribers. Every country in Latin America and the Caribbean (except
Haiti) enjoys GSM-based mobile services. In terms of GSM subscriber numbers,
Latin America was one of the fastest growing regions in the world in 2005.
- In early 2006, EDGE technology was being rolled out or was already in
service in approximately 30 Latin American and Caribbean countries, including
Argentina, Bermuda, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala,
Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad & Tobago, and Uruguay.
- In early 2006, Latin America had 39% of the world' s CDMA 2000 1xEV-DO
networks. Countries with commercially operating cellular 1xEV-DO services
included Bermuda, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guatemala, and
Venezuela. In Argentina and Brazil, 450MHz CDMA 2000 1x and 1xEV-DO networks
have been rolled out for WLL.
- In August 2005, the Brazilian telecom regulator announced that it would
publish the bidding rules for the sale of 3G licences by the middle of 2006,
and would start the auction after the October 2006 General Elections. It
stated that 3G services would most likely become available in Brazil by late
2008 or early 2009. In September 2005, Uruguay' s state-owned incumbent, Antel,
began to trial a 3G (UMTS) service, with the aim of launching it commercially
before the end of 2006.
USA
- The US telecommunications markets continue to undergo significant
transformation as technologies converge toward a triple play model of bundled
voice, Internet and TV services.
- The downward trend in landline revenues is forecast to steepen due to
increasing competition from mobile and new technologies. For instance, mobile
revenues are forecast to grow at over 10% CAGR over the next five years,
reaching approximately $200 billion in 2010. Similarly VoIP is forecast to
treble in subscriber numbers by 2010. In addition, recent substantial
investments in WiMAX as a 4G platform indicate that the technology is being
considered as a realistic disruptive technology.
- As the cable TV companies move into the telcos' traditional sector with
VoIP services, the telcos are responding by aggressively deploying
high-bandwidth fibre networks which will chart their path into the IPTV
market. These fibre networks, together with the mega-mergers of SBC/AT&T,
Verizon/MCI and the pending AT&T Inc/BellSouth acquisition, position the
telcos to secure dominance in the broadband market. The extent to which the
RBOCs can control the triple play market will depend in part on US policy
towards network neutrality and on the extent to which new broadband
technologies, such as BPL and WiMAX, will penetrate the market.
- This report presents an overview of the telecom regulatory environment,
and examines developments in the wireless sector, in the broadband market and
new broadband technologies, in digital TV, Internet use and in the convergence
towards triple play services.
CANADA
- By early 2000 Canada' s telecoms and broadband sector was among the most
advanced in the world. However, by 2006 Canada' s performance in areas such as
broadband penetration and mobile penetration was starting to lag behind its
OECD counterparts. This has led to calls for further reform of Canada' s
telecommunications regulatory regime to a lighter-handed framework. Hence 2007
and 2008 are likely to be characterised by further regulatory reform towards a
more market-based approach.
- During 2006 traditional fixed line voice revenues continued to decline as
subscribers switch en masse to mobile services and at even greater growth
rates to VoIP services. This trend is forecast to continue during 2007 as VoIP
gathers momentum. Additionally, the market will continue its transition to a
triple play model, though during 2007 the cable companies are forecast to make
greater gains in the telcos' voice sectors than the telcos' gains in the
broadcasting sector.
