 Brazil - Convergence and Pay TV Market
Synopsis
Convergence is popular in Brazil, with numerous operators advertising triple play solutions that include broadband, telephony, and pay TV. Brazilian companies have generally approached triple play by adding VoIP to pay TV and broadband. Several operators also offer services based on fixed-mobile convergence. One of the consequences of convergence is the start of competition between pay TV and telecom operators. In Brazil, delays in legislating on this matter have led to confusion and conflict, involving pay TV companies, telecom operators, and regulatory authorities. A draft bill is in the pipeline to allow IPTV services, which are prohibited by Brazilian telecom regulations. This report provides an overview of Brazil's convergence and pay TV market, accompanied by statistical data.

Brazil - Fixed-Line Infrastructure - Overview, Statistics & Market Forecasts
Synopsis
Brazil's fixed-line teledensity is slightly higher than average for Latin America, which is in line with other indicators such as the country's GDP per capita, also slightly higher than the regional average. As in the rest of the world, fixed-mobile substitution is a prominent phenomenon in Brazil, with an increasing proportion of the population using mobile rather than conventional telephones. Because of remoteness problems, Brazil is very active in the satellite sector. Three companies operate national satellites: Star One, Telesat Brasil, and Hispamar. Led by Embratel/Net, GVT, and Skype, many companies offer VoIP services to more than 2.6 million subscribers. 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
About 52% of Brazil's fixed lines in service are controlled by locally owned Oi, the dominant operator in Region I (north and east Brazil including Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais) and Region II (south, southwest, and central Brazil including the Federal District). Telefónica's Telesp is the dominant operator in Region III (the state of São Paulo), and controls about 27% of Brazil's total lines in service. The remaining 21% of Brazil's fixed lines in service belong to Embratel, Net Serviços de Comunicação, GVT, and a few small, private operators. GVT was acquired by France's Vivendi in November 2009, in a move that took the markets by surprise. This report profiles all major and some minor fixed-line operators, providing relevant statistics and analyses.

Brazil - Internet and Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
With a promising economic outlook and rising prosperity, demand for broadband in Brazil is expected to soar. Broadband operators have been struggling to keep up with the growing demand, which has led to problems of system overload. Brazil's government has been drawing up plans to spread broadband across the vast country in one of the world's largest infrastructure projects. Two major factors have inhibited the growth of broadband in Brazil: shortage of fixed-line infrastructure, and broadband prices, which are too high for the Brazilian socio-economic environment. On the other hand, the growth of mobile broadband in Brazil has been nothing short of spectacular, attracting more than four million subscribers. 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 - 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.
