Broadband and Telecom Reports
Argentina - Telecommunications Statistics and Market
Forecast
Argentina has one of the best-developed and fastest growing
telecom markets in Latin America. The most dynamic sectors are
mobile telephony and broadband. Fixed-lines are also growing,
albeit at a much slower pace. Like elsewhere in Latin America,
the shift is away from traditional phones and towards mobility.
In terms of mobile penetration, Argentina overtook Chile, the
erstwhile South American mobile leader, in June 2007. Argentina
is likely to reach a mobile penetration of over 100% by end-2007.
The broadband market has enormous potential, spurred by
increasing demand, and is still largely untapped outside the
province of Buenos Aires. This report contains statistics and
scenario forecasts for Argentina's fixed-line, mobile, and
broadband markets for the years 2012 and 2017. See the
executive summary.
Argentina - Mobile Market, Regulatory Overview, Telecom
Infrastructure and Major Players
Argentina's mobile market is the third largest in Latin America,
after Brazil and Mexico. In terms of penetration, Argentina is
the regional leader, bar a few Caribbean islands, having
overtaken Chile in June 2007. Three operators, Movistar, Claro,
and Telecom Personal, run a close competition for market share.
All three companies launched 3G services over HSDPA networks in
2007. Besides the three main cellular providers, Nextel operates
an iDEN network with a small but profitable slice of the market.
GSM is the main technology in Argentina, with TDMA and CDMA
slated to disappear after June 2008. This report provides an
overview of Argentina's mobile market, together with brief
profiles of the mobile operators, and statistical data.

Argentina - Convergence, Broadband and Internet
Market
Argentina's Internet penetration is twice as high as the world
average ' yet less than half compared with countries such as
Norway and the Netherlands. The broadband market is one of the
most developed in South America, with penetration only second to
Chile's. ADSL has consolidated its leadership, overtaking cable
modem, which used to be the main broadband technology. Three
broadband players (Telefonica de Argentina, Telecom Argentina,
and Grupo Clarin) compete neck-a-neck for market share.
Broadcasting and media convergence suffer from regulatory battles
involving the government, pay TV companies, and telecom
operators. This report provides an overview of Argentina's
Internet, broadband, and broadcasting market, accompanied by
relevant statistics and analyses. See
