Latin America - Mobile Communications Statistics

• Latin Americas mobile penetration is well ahead
  of the world average
• Mobile penetration
• Consumers in Latin America and the Caribbean
  (LAC) are turning increasingly towards mobile
  solutions and away from the traditional
  telephone. In terms of usage, the region is well
  ahead of the world average, having reached an
  estimated 115 mobile penetration at end-2012
  against a global rate of around 96. However,
  over 80 of LACs mobile subscribers are on
  prepaid plans.
• Mobile operators
• Six major multinational operators serve roughly
  80 of the regions market América Móvil,
  Telefónica, Telecom Italia, Millicom, and
  Digicel. América Móvil is the leader, followed by
  Telefónica. In fact, América Móvil and Telefónica
  compete against each other in most of Latin
  Americas major economies. Between them, they
  serve about 61 of the regions mobile
  subscribers (down from 64 in 2008).
• América Móvil, owned by Mexican tycoon Carlos
  Slim, operates in 16 LAC countries. In its home
  ground, Mexico, it uses the brand name Telcel. In
  all other countries, it provides mobile services
  under the unified name Claro. Spains Telefónica
  provides mobile services in 13 LAC countries,
  using the name Movistar in all markets except
  Brazil, where it operates under the brand name
  Vivo.

Latin America - Mobile Communications Statistics

• 3G mobile networks
• Almost all countries have operating UMTS networks
  with the exception of Belize, Cuba, Suriname, and
  a few Caribbean island nations. UMTS technologies
  in Latin America include HSPA, HSDPA, HSUPA, and
  HSPA. Most operators use HSPDA to provide mobile
  broadband, multimedia downloads, mobile games,
  and video calling. Several companies also offer
  mobile TV.
• Mobile broadband
• Partly due to the inadequate fixed-line
  infrastructure, mobile broadband has become an
  important option for broadband services in the
  LAC region. The service is commonly used with
  either a USB modem that plugs into a computer, or
  with netbooks, notebooks, or laptops that have a
  built-in receiver.
• Smartphones and social networks
• The enormous popularity of social networks is
  driving sales in a booming smart phone market.
  Social phones, which bridge the gap between
  traditional phones and smartphones, are extremely
  popular, as they allow access to mail, Twitter,
  and Facebook. Seven Latin American countries are
  among the worlds top thirty in terms of Facebook
  users.

Latin America - Mobile Communications Statistics

• Brazil has the highest number of active users in
  the region, while Chile has the highest ratio of
  users per capita. With penetration upward of 52,
  more than one out of every two Chileans is, in
  fact, an active Facebook user.
• Conclusion
• In general terms the mobile sector, largely
  buttressed by mobile data services, dominates the
  overall telecoms market in the region, a legacy
  of inadequate fixed-line infrastructure which has
  made mobile voice and broadband services a
  preferred option for many customers. As such,
  mobile comms is likely to be the focus for most
  operator capex during the next two years,
  incorporating network upgrades as well as the
  acquisition of spectrum.
