DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/81ee55/colombia_country) has announced the addition of the "Colombia: Country Regulation Overview" report to their offering.

Introduction

Unlike other South & Central American countries, the liberalization of the telecoms market in Colombia preceded privatization, and state and local government enterprises still exist. The fixed incumbent (Telecom Colombia), for example, was partially privatized only in 2006.

Features and benefits

  • This report provides a comprehensive overview of the regulatory framework and current developments in Colombia.
  • Report offers an extensive overview of the (fixed and mobile) retail and wholesale obligations as well as the national digital strategy plan.

Highlights

After regulating the pricing for ducts and masts, the CRC expects that by the first half of 2011 it will have a framework for accessing infrastructure in sectors other than the telecoms sector for the provision of telecoms services. On the broadband front, the two digital strategy plans (ICT Plan and Vive Digital) should start initiatives ranging from mobile banking projects to the rollout of fiber to reach 700 municipalities.
