 Honduras - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
One of the poorest countries in the Latin America, Honduras has one of the least developed telecom infrastructures and the fourth lowest teledensity in the region. Fixed-line telephony was officially opened to competition in December 2005. Laws governing full liberalisation, however, have been delayed due to political controversy over the role of Empresa Hondureña de Telecomunicaciones (Hondutel), the state-owned national telecom provider. Efforts to privatise the incumbent have so far failed to come to fruition. Two companies compete in the mobile market: Millicom's Tigo and América Móvil's Claro. Unsatisfied demand for basic telephony has driven a veritable boom in the mobile market, with annual growth rates of around 80%.
