 Brazil - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
In terms of broadband subscribers, Brazil is the regional leader and one of the top countries in the world, ranking ninth globally. In terms of penetration, however, Brazil is only slightly above the Latin American average, trailing behind neighbouring Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. With a promising economic outlook and rising prosperity, demand for broadband in Brazil is expected to soar. The government's National Broadband Plan aims to provide broadband access for low-income households and in areas where private operators have no commercial interest. Broadband plans on offer in Brazil have improved significantly. In fact, broadband prices in Brazil are lower than in most other Latin American countries, but they are still high compared with North America and Europe, and they remain expensive for the Brazilian socio-economic environment. Likewise, in terms of broadband speeds, Brazil performs well compared with Latin America, but poorly compared with the rest of the world. This report provides an overview of Brazil's Internet and broadband market, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and broadband scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.

Brazil - Fixed-Line Infrastructure - Overview, Statistics and Market Forecasts
Synopsis
Brazil's fixed-line teledensity is about 23% higher than average for Latin America but has been stagnating since 2002. Fixed line rentals are expensive compared with other countries and a large percentage of Brazilians cannot afford a fixed telephone. Because of remoteness problems, Brazil is very active in the satellite sector. Three companies operate national satellites: Star One, Telesat Brasil, and Hispamar. Star One was the first operator to provide satellite services in Brazil, and remains the market leader. Star One C3, scheduled for launch in 2012, will cover all of South America including Brazilian territorial waters. The launch of Telstar 14R (known as Estrela do Sul 2 in Brazil), scheduled for the second half of 2011, was brought forward to May 2011. The satellite covers 100% of Brazilian territory and can deliver services to the whole of the Americas. This report provides an overview of Brazil's telecom infrastructure, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and fixed-line scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.

Brazil - Fixed-Line Operators
Synopsis
The Brazilian telecom sector is fully open to competition. But while the number of licensed companies increases, the bulk of the market is divided between three groups: Spain's Telefónica, which owns Telesp (fixed-line) and Vivo (mobile); Mexico's América Móvil, which owns Embratel (fixed-line) and Claro (mobile); and Oi (fixed-line and mobile), which is controlled by Brazilian investors and Portugal Telecom. The fixed-line market leaders are the two regional incumbents Oi and Telesp, with 48% and 27% respectively of the country's fixed lines in service, but they mostly keep to their own regions of operations despite the lifting of geographical restrictions. However, while their basic telephony service stagnates or dwindles, two other companies - long-distance incumbent Embratel and Vivendi's GVT - have gained a rapidly increasing market share of 18% and 5% respectively. This report profiles all major and some minor fixed-line operators, providing relevant statistics and analyses.

Brazil - Mobile Frequency Bands & Spectrum Auctions
Synopsis
Brazil uses six frequency bands for 2G mobile services, and another four bands for 3G services. The country has been carved into ten areas for 2G licensing and into eleven areas for 3G licensing. Through spectrum allocations and auctions - as well as acquisitions, Brazil has four mobile companies (TIM, Vivo, Claro, and Oi) that hold nationwide licences for 2G mobile services. A highly successful 3G auction awarded 36 licences, giving all major mobile operators authorisation to offer 3G nationwide. The regulator is planning several public consultations and new spectrum auctions for 2010. This report provides an overview of spectrum regulations and spectrum auctions in Brazil, as well as frequency band statistics and operators/regions for each band.
