 Guatemala - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
Guatemala is the most populous country in Central America and the region's largest telecom market, but has been held back by poverty, income inequality, and violence. While Guatemala's capital city enjoys a relatively modern telecom network, the rest of the country's fixed-line infrastructure is inadequate and antiquated, though much improved since the telecom sector was liberalised in 1996. Mobile telephony is the fastest growing market, helped along by one of the most liberal regulatory models in the world. There are about four times as many mobile phones as fixed lines in service. While mobile penetration is about 20% lower than the Latin American average, it is remarkably high considering that the country's GDP per capita is roughly one-half that of the region as a whole.
