Streaming through pay-TV's back door

With an eye on social benefits and improved economies, governments are rightly striving to increase the availability of broadband, but ask a telco what is driving uptake and they will tell you it is video traffic. Either way, the simultaneous focus on broadband by both of these types of entities is fuelling the prospects for various forms of online video consumption, and guaranteeing the role of ... view more

Regulatory trends in Latin America: Old priorities, new methods

Chile and Jamaica have both recognized the need to unify regulatory entities that separately deal with matters such as spectrum management, broadcasting and operator licensing, and expect to do so by end-2013. While they claim to be among the last countries to do so in this region, there are others that are still undergoing reform, and not necessarily so rapidly. In the case of Mexico's Cofetel such reform could be described as drastic when it eventually happens, and the initial steps have caused quite a stir.

Argentina: Continued growth despite the turmoil

In the last couple of years Argentina has come to stand out as one of Latin America's leading markets in terms of broadband penetration and heavy use of mobile VAS. This is quite perplexing considering certain stifling conditions that the telecom sector has to endure in this market, such as fixed telephony prices frozen since 2001 and the lack of triple play offers. How has the sector managed to overcome this dichotomy, and what does it mean for the future?

Starrier nights over Latin America: A booming satellite segment

2012 promises to be a bumper year for launches of satellites whose payloads will be directed fully or partially at Latin America. Although many are intended to replace units that are nearing the end of their useful life, the replacement vehicles are usually built with a greater number of transponders than the original unit, which promises to increase the amount of capacity available to the region. The expected increase in capacity comes on the back of record Latin American revenues for many in the satellite segment during 2011, helped along by the region's resistance to global financial turmoil and its inherent potential for growth.

Going mainstream: Unified Communications in the SME field

Connecting the dots: challenges for the Caribbean telecoms industry

The Caribbean was one of the first parts of the CALA region to feature markets with mobile penetration of more than 100%, and some islands are even approaching 200% now. However, contrary to this early lead, the Caribbean is straggling when it comes to deployment of 3G networks. Only now is LIME deploying EDGE and Digicel deploying HSPA+, but these moves fit nicely against the backdrop of indepen... view more

In praise of competition: taking it to the next level

The telecoms industry has a reputation for undergoing rapid change, with telcos vying to be first to deploy the latest technology. However, one concept that appears to remain constant despite all this change is the notion that competition is necessary to make the resulting fruits widely available. Our Telecom IS for August shows how the goal of improving competition is as pertinent as ever, despite advances in recent years.
