 Venezuela - Convergence, Broadband and Internet Market
Internet penetration in Venezuela is lower than the South American average, but is growing rapidly. Broadband technologies available include ADSL, cable, wireless, and satellite. CANTV dominates the broadband market, with around 82% of the subscriber base. Competition, however, is being strongly promoted by the government. Thanks to the country's considerable growth potential, conditions are favourable for broadband providers. New developments are possible using cable networks for converged services. The two largest cable TV companies, NetUno and Intercable, both offer triple play service, combining cable TV, broadband, and telephony. This report provides an overview of Venezuela's Internet, broadband, and broadcasting market, accompanied by statistical data.

Venezuela - Mobile Communications and Mobile Data Market
Mobile telephony in Venezuela has been far more dynamic than the fixed-line market, so much so that there are more than four mobile phones for every fixed line in service. Interesting new developments are transforming the Venezuelan mobile landscape. Digitel GSM, born in June 2006 from the merger of the three regional operators Digitel, Infonet, and Digicel, has become the only mobile company with a nationwide GSM network. The two mobile leaders, Telefónica's Movistar and CANTV's Movilnet, operate nationwide CDMA networks. Movilnet is coming under the umbrella of América Móvil, which has agreed to buy Verizon's stake in CANTV. This report provides an overview of Venezuela's mobile market, accompanied by statistical data and brief profiles of the operators.
