 Brazil - Convergence Broadband and Internet Market
Brazil is the regional broadband leader in terms of subscriber numbers, but trails neighbouring Chile and Argentina in terms of penetration. Broadband technologies available in Brazil include ADSL, cable modem, wireless, satellite, and dedicated lines. ADSL is losing market share to cable modem, but remains the leader with 75% of all broadband accesses. WiMAX networks have been deployed by the government and by several operators, and a WiMAX auction is expected in 2008. Brazil is considered by many a world leader in terms of e-government, especially in the areas of e-participation, electronic voting, online tax filing, and e-procurement. This report provides an overview of Brazil's Internet, broadband, and broadcasting market, accompanied by statistical data.

Brazil - Fixed-Line Market and Infrastructure - Overview & Statistics
Three regional incumbents (Telesp, Oi, and Brasil Telecom) dominate 87% of Brazil's fixed lines in service, but their market share is being slowly eroded. GVT has emerged as one of the most successful fixed-line competitors, using hybrid fixed-line/fixed-wireless technology, and offering VoIP services over one of Latin America's first Next Generation Networks. An ever-increasing number of companies offer services, though a drive towards consolidation pervades all sectors of the Brazilian telecom market. A merger between regional incumbents Oi and Brasil Telecom has been on the cards for some time. This report provides an overview of Brazil's telecom infrastructure, together with profiles of all major and some minor fixed-line operators, accompanied by relevant statistics.

Brazil - Key Statistics Telecom Market and Regulatory Overview
With about one third of the region's population, Brazil is Latin America's largest telecoms market. The sector has been fully liberalised since 2006, and there are no restrictions on foreign telecoms capital, except for cable TV. The country is a leading investment destination for international operators and suppliers, given its size and potential to develop into a top world market. Competition is encouraged by the Brazilian government, and will be further stimulated by the introduction of number portability in March 2009. This report provides an overview of Brazil's telecom market and regulatory environment, accompanied by statistical data.

Brazil - Mobile Market - Overview & Statistics
Brazil holds one third of Latin America's mobile users, and its mobile penetration is slightly lower than the regional average. Carrier preselection has been in effect in January 2004, and number portability is to be implemented by March 2009. Following a 2G-spectrum auction in September 2007, the number of cellular operators with a nationwide licence increased from one to three. A 3G-spectrum auction in December 2007 was a huge success for the government, netting US$2.94 billion (90% more than the asking price) from the sale of 36 licences covering the whole of Brazil. Obligations attached to the 3G licences included the provision of mobile telephony to unserviced areas. Accompanied by key market statistics and analyses, this report gives an overview of major market developments, spectrum auctions, mobile technologies, and mobile data services.

Brazil - Mobile Operators
Brazil's four major mobile operators, Vivo, TIM, Claro, and Oi, together hold about 91% of the market. The consolidation process, which had halted in 2003, resumed in 2007, with the acquisition of Telemig by Vivo and of Amazônia Celular by Oi. This reduced the number of operators from nine to seven. The next major change on the horizon is the expected merger of Oi and Brasil Telecom. Vivo, the number one operator, has seen its market share eroded, but may be on the path to recovery. Its parent companies, Telefónica and Portugal Telecom, have an uneasy partnership. TIM Brazil and América Móvil's Claro occupy a close second and third place respectively in the mobile market. This report provides brief profiles of Brazil's mobile operators, together with relevant statistical data and analyses.
