DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8b67eb/chile_telecommunic) has announced the addition of the "Chile Telecommunications Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.
Business Monitor International's Chile Telecommunications Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, telecommunication associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Chile's telecommunications industry.
Market Highlights:
Data published by Chile's major telecoms operators and the national regulator, Subtel, show that after a surge in net additions in late 2010, mobile subscriber numbers continue to be buoyant. With year-on-year (y-o-y) growth at over 20% for the past three consecutive quarters, the capacity for Chile's mobile market to grow has surprised many. In the light of this data for Q211, BMI has raised its five-year forecast and calculates that Chile will have 26.7mn mobile subscribers by 2016.
The mobile market is set for further changes, as from 1 January 2012, a Chilean will be permitted to change to a new mobile operator without losing his or her number. In August 2011 the government announced that Telcordia was the successful in its bid to administer Chile's mobile number portability programme.
There are also changes ahead for the fixed-line sector. In October 2011 the government introduced new tariffs in Valparaso, whereby users are only charged for local-to-local calls when phoning someone in the same region. Previously these calls were charged at domestic long-distance tariffs.
Considering Chile's strong economic performance and continued market stability, it has returned to the top of BMI's Latin American Business Environment Ratings this quarter. Continued mobile subscriber growth and plans for investment in mobile infrastructure announced by Movistar and Entel for 2012 are signs of investor confidence and the market's capacity for future expansion - particularly in terms of mobile broadband offerings and high-speed fixed-broadband connections.
