Latin America - Mobile Voice, Data and Forecasts, New Report Launched

This report covers developments in the mobile voice and data markets of Latin America and the Caribbean. The countries covered in this report include: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Caribbean countries, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Continuing investments in LTE supporting mobile broadband growth

Mobile penetration

The Latin American and the Caribbean regions contain a number of markets where mobile telecom services, both voice and data, have become the preferred communications platform for consumers. In a few markets, such as Haiti, the fixed-line infrastructure is so poor that operators can effectively sideline the sector and concentrate their investments in mobile networks alone. Many mountainous and rural areas across the region are in a similar situation, a legacy of under-investment and loose regulatory controls in previous years. A greater emphasis on universal access regimes, and on quality of service parameters, has stimulated operators to improve networks and infrastructure.

More spectrum is needed

• The release of spectrum, particularly in the 700MHz band as broadcasters switch from analogue to digital signals, has improved the reach and capabilities of mobile networks and encouraged consumers to migrate from fixed-line to mobile services. Nevertheless, there remains some uncertainty regarding the continuity of spectrum licences in a number of countries. This can potentially discourage operators from committing the required capex to maintain growth momentum. In countries such as Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Uruguay some 2G licences acquired in the 1990s are due to expire within the next few years. Foreknowledge of licence renewals is needed for operators to maintain service quality, for regulators to work towards national ICT goals, and for the market to maintain stability.
• Colombia’s renewal of licences held by Movistar and Claro in March 2014, for a further ten years, became an opportunity to add further service quality requirements. In addition, the regulator intended to allocate the money raised from the licences to its ‘Vive Digital’ program, aimed at expanding mobile coverage, subsidising tariffs for low-income households and providing free WiFi zones.

Smartphones and tablets

In common with markets in North America, Asia and Europe, smartphones now dominate new device sales. The popularity of social networking has also stimulated the tablet market. About 36 million tablets were sold in the region in 2013 alone, with growth in sales expected to remain strong for the next five years at least. A number of government programs have subsidised tablet purchases for students and schools as part of schemes to improve broadband availability and internet connectivity among citizens. Tablet use has in turn stimulated the WiFi market, encouraging operators to set up more hotspots and invest in backhaul to improve network capacity.

4G/LTE mobile services

Most countries in the region now have commercial LTE network s in place. A number of smaller operators, as well as players such as the broadcaster DirecTV, have also launched services in some markets. In the case of municipally-owned operators, such as Colombia’s UNE-EPM, LTE is provided as a practical alternative to fixed-line broadband.

Belarus - Economic Conditions Improve But Inflation Causing Lingering Revenue Stress for Operators, Reveals New Report

Belarus's economic growth was halted by the 2008 financial crisis. Although inflation has been brought down to more manageable levels since the hyper-inflationary year of 2011, inflation in 2014 was still running at about 20% while the value of the Rouble has fallen in relation to other currencies, including the Euro. This has impacted on operator revenue, particular for the subsidiaries of Turkcell and Telecom Austria. The ongoing economic difficulties have also reduced customer spend, contributing to lower revenue and investment.

Nevertheless, there remain many opportunities for growth in coming years, particularly in broadband segment where penetration is relatively low. Although the sector has been reformed in recent years, restructuring has not yet resulted in the privatisation of the incumbent Beltelecom, which has invested substantially in infrastructure and technologies. Although the government is keen to control these assets, there is greater pressure for it to sell state enterprises in a bid to reduce overall debt. Growth for Beltelecom is expected to be particularly strong in the FttP sector, where much of the company's capex is directed.

The mobile sector has experienced the strongest growth in telecoms, with a rapid rise in mobile penetration attributed to effective competition. Operators have concentrated on developing mobile broadband and data services with a view to capitalising on such services to increase ARPU. By early 2014 there were about 4.3 million active mobile broadband subscribers, giving a penetration rate of about 46%. Recent spectrum auctions will facilitate the development of mobile broadband access, particularly in rural areas. The government in early 2014 again failed to sell its 51% stake in MTS, with no bids having being filed.

Latin America - Continuing Market Consolidation and Merger Activity for 2015, Reveals New Report

Latin America's mobile market is dominated by four multinational operators, which together account for about 80% of the region's subscribers. There remains room for a vibrant MVNO segment, while changes to company share ownership, as well as recent regulatory measures and the competitive strain experienced by some players continue to make the market fluid.

Mexico's Amrica Mvil is the largest player in the region, operating in 17 countries. The company also has a significant presence in the US via its MVNO Tracfone, and has recently ventured into Europe by taking stakes in two key local operators. It has a 25.7% interest in KPN, through which it has access to the Dutch and Belgian mobile markets, as also a 26.8% stake in Telekom Austria, through which it has access to seven other markets including Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Belarus.

In Latin America, the second largest operator is Spain's Telefnica, providing services under the Movistar brand in all markets except Brazil, where it operates under the Vivo brand. Brazil is Telefnica's key market in the region, where it has over 79 million mobile subscribers.

Telecom Italia operates in Brazil, as also still in Argentina via its stake in Telecom Argentina, and Paraguay. The operator will soon exit Argentina, having sold its interest in the incumbent operator for $960 million. Millicom provides mobile services, branded as Tigo, in three Central American countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras) and three South American (Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay), while Digicel and Cable & Wireless are the dominant players in the Caribbean.

The regional mobile market showed great promise during the 1990s when it was first opened up to competition, and when governments and regulators began licensing spectrum. A number of international operators ventured into these markets, though uncertainties concerning licence regimes, as well as the vicissitudes caused by changing strategies and economic performances of players led to considerable consolidation. This is ongoing, with US-based NII Holdings, which provides wireless services under the Nextel brand in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile, announcing in August 2014 that it may file for bankruptcy. The operator has about 9.3 million mobile subscribers in these markets, having lost 6% of its subscriber base year-on-year.

In Mexico, a new regulatory regime was recently introduced aimed at curbing the dominance of Amrica Mvil, which controls 70% of the wireless market and 80% of landlines. In response, in July 2014 Amrica Mvil announced that it would sell assets to reduce its local market share to below 50% by 2018. This will enable other operators to compete more effectively, while future spectrum auctions will be geared to encouraging the market entry of new players.

Solomon Islands - Mobile Operators See Opportunities for Growth, Reveals New Report

The Solomon Islands is a small Pacific island country covering 1,000 small islands with nine larger ones. The populace with under 600,000 inhabitants is mainly Melanesian, while GNI per capita is among the lowest in the region, while economic growth projections to 2015 are encouraging.

Solomon Island's fixed-line teledensity is among the lowest in the South Pacific islands and has receded as mobile subscriptions have increased. Mobile phone penetration, however is above the regional average while mobile broadband penetration rates have increased, yet remain lower than the lowest of an OECD member country.

Our Telekom's operates in the fixed-line, internet and in the TV broadcasting sector and is also a partner in the Solomons Oceanic Cable Company. The SOCC aims to have a submarine cable connected to the major populated islands by 2014-2015. Until the under-sea connectivity to the global markets is achieved, the low penetration rates and prohibitive telecommunication costs will continue to stymie ICT driven economic gains that will be obtainable with faster connectivity.

In the mobile sector, the second operator, Bemobile aims to increases its market share as it has partnered with global mobile operator Vodafone. The partly privatised incumbent's mobile division Our Telekom will now try to remain the major operator in the country.
