 Argentina - Convergence, Broadband and Internet Market
Argentina's Internet market is the third largest in Latin America, and penetration is among the highest in the region. Traditionally, cable modem was the more popular medium of broadband access, but ADSL has consolidated its leadership in the country's broadband market. Argentina has also joined the global WiFi bandwagon, with an increasing number of companies offering WiFi services. Convergence strategies offer promising prospects, and regulatory changes are under discussion to facilitate the adoption of triple play. The adoption of digital terrestrial TV has been delayed, amongst disagreements on the standard to be adopted. This report provides an overview of Argentina's Internet, broadband, and broadcasting market, accompanied by statistical data.

Argentina - Key Statistics, Regulatory Overview and Fixed Network Markets
Argentina has made a full turn-around from the severe recession of 2000-2002, and the telecom sector has been growing apace. Fixed-line teledensity is around 22%, similar to Brazil and Chile, and about 4% higher than the Latin American average, but there remain marked discrepancies between urban and rural areas. While fixed lines stagnate, mobile telephony is booming, with more than three mobile phones for every fixed line in service. Telecom regulator SeCom made its priorities for 2006 the establishment of a satellite venture, ArSat, and the development of regulations for digital television. This report provides an overview of Argentina's telecom infrastructure and regulatory environment, together with brief profiles of the main fixed network operators and statistical data.

Argentina - Mobile Communications and Mobile Data Market
Since nosing out of the economic slump of 2000-2002, Argentina's mobile telephony has been booming. At 67% in mid-2006, mobile penetration is well above the Latin American average, trailing only Chile and a few Caribbean islands. Mobile subscribers outstripped fixed lines in service at the beginning of 2004. In mid-2006, there were more than three mobile phones for every fixed line. Three operators, Movistar, CTI Móvil, and Telecom Personal, run a fairly close competition for market share. After absorbing Movicom BellSouth in January 2005, Movistar ended up with surplus spectrum that it must relinquish in stages. Three companies are vying for Movistar's returned spectrum: cooperative start-up Comarcoop, CTI Móvil, and Hutchison.
