             1. Objetive

             Mobile Telephony in the Latin America and Caribbean
             region has experienced amazing growth in the last
             few years. This situation has produced an important
             contribution to the domestic economies and has had a
             strong social impact from a connectivity point of view.
             In the next years Mobile Telephony in the region will
             face challenges in relation to the new products and
             services it will offer.

             GSM Association Latin America (GSMA LA)                              The study was stratified by sets of socio-demographic
             wishes to know about the development, tendencies,                    variables and market share of the main operators
             expectations, propensity to consumption and                          in each country, in order to extrapolate the
             projected demand of certain products and services                    results obtained to the total population of mobile
             that Mobile Telephony has recently launched or is                    telephony users in each country, guaranteeing the
             considering launching in the next few years. For this                representativeness of the universe being studied.
             reason, GSMA LA has requested that Convergencia
             Research undertake a study that involves specific                     400 cases were surveyed per city, totalling 7,200 cased
             knowledge in commercial, marketing, economic and                     in 18 cities.
             technical aspects, providing analysis and conclusions
             at a regional and country level.



             2. Countries involved

             The 18 countries that will be included in the study are
             detailed below:




             These countries altogether generate approximately
             95% of the Gross Domestic Product and represent
             98% of the population in the region.



             3. Services surveyed

             All services provided by Mobile Telephony, but
             especially focused on Mobile TV, Mobile Internet and
             Roaming.



             4. Research methodology

             Quantitative exploratory study through which we
             learned about the opinion of Mobile Telephony
             users through detailed interviews carried out using
             guidelines, and performed by experienced personnel
             who speak Spanish, Portuguese and English.

                     However in this case awareness does not imply
                     greater use, since only 10% of respondents have
                     used the service at some time.

                     the service (76%).
                     Ecuador also has a high rate of use (43%); however
                     it shows the lowest rate of awareness in the region

The greatest breaches between the “use” and
“preference” of the data card as a device used to connect to
Mobile Internet are observed in the following countries:

     Jamaica: while 7% of users of the service use a
     data card as a means of connection, 19% is of
     the opinion that this would be the preferred
     means to do so. As a result we observe a breach
     (opportunity for growth) of 12%.
     In Chile the situation in respect to the breach is
     similar: while 9% connect using data cards, 20%
     considers that it is the optimum means. Therefore
     the breach is 11%.                                             At a regional level, 37% of users of Mobile Internet

     with a breach of 8% (18% of use versus 26%

     Then we have Venezuela with 7% and Mexico
     and Paraguay with 6%.
     Trinidad & Tobago is the only country with a
     negative breach; while the rate of use is 15%, the
     rate of preference only reaches 12%.

             At an analytical level by country we note the following
             conducts:

                     Ecuador and Jamaica are the only countries in
                     the region where the conduct of most travellers
                     is to make less than one call per day.
                     In Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
                     El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Dominican
                     Republic and Trinidad & Tobago, most travellers
                     make between 1 and 2 calls per day.
                     From 3 to 5 calls per day is the conduct most
                     mentioned in Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Peru,
                     Puerto Rico, Uruguay and Venezuela.

             4.6. Use of Mobile Telephony during trips abroad (Roaming)

             Based on a Study performed by Convergencia

                     with a rate of 12%.                                           day. The average rate at a regional level for Mobile
                     On the other hand the countries with the lowest               Telephony is 40%. In second place we have the
                     recorded use are Brazil and Mexico with rates of              Internet with 26%, followed by Fixed Telephony
                     2%.                                                           with 18% and lastly TV with 16% of responses.

             The growth expectations for the service are great. In                  Table 5.1.2. Region: Service that would affect you the most if it
             the last 3 years the growth rate at a regional level has                          were to stop working for a day by country
             exceeded 100% in most of the countries. Regarding
             the future, it is estimated that in the next 3 years the
             growth should be between 15% and 20%.

             Regarding the countries with which the Roaming
             service is used most regularly, the different countries
             in the region coincide in mentioning the United States,
             bordering countries, and Spain and the European
             Union in general.

             When operators were consulted about the barriers
             that interfere with the growth of the Roaming service,
             those most mentioned have been:

                     Increased cost due to double taxation in the
                     country of origin of the call and the receiving
                     country. The tax that most affects is the Value
                     Added Tax.
                     The final cost for the user as a consequence of
                     international interconnection rates.
                     Another significant problem is posed by the

    Although the regional average for Mobile
    Telephony is 40% there are countries with even
    higher rates: Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic
    (both with 51%) and Paraguay (50%).
    Others countries that mention Mobile Telephony
    as the most significant service, show rates
    significantly below the average. These are:
    Argentina and Mexico (both with 31%), Colombia

    Brazil and Chile are the only countries in the region

    Three countries recorded rates in excess of 50%
    regarding Mobile Telephony when asked which
    service would affect them the most should it stop
    working for a day. These are: Dominican Republic
    (51%), Puerto Rico (51%) and Paraguay (50%).
    Surprisingly, 5 of the countries that are regional
    leaders from a macroeconomic point of view, but
    also from the point of view of Mobile Telephony
    in function of the amount of lines and penetration
    are the ones that least place value on the service:
    Colombia (35%), Mexico (31%), Argentina (31%),
    Chile (26%) and Brazil (19%).

According to respondents the Mobile Telephone is the

In second place we find the Internet with 27% of
responses followed by Fixed Telephony with 23%

6. Devices

When asked regarding the services that can be
provided in different technological devices (PC,
digital camera, telephone, MP3, video, etc.), 89% of
the population stated their preference that all of them
could be used in a single device supporting multiple
applications and services. All segments coincided
that among the benefits of this is the practicality of
concentrating services due to comfort and weight.

On the contrary, the 11% that preferred having
different devices for each service, emphasized as
a reason that when a device breaks down only one
service is lost, and the rest are maintained.
