Report: Telecommunications Sector in LATAM

Description

Given macroeconomic and political instability, the investment rate of the region tends to be low, leading to poor infrastructure, in particular, for telecommunications. Regulatory environments do not provide stable conditions for investment, presenting a further barrier to investment in the sector. As demonstrated by the reduced amount of radio spectrum allocated in the majority of the countries of the region by national governments, the environment is not very attractive to investment. In this context, the region lags behind considerably in the adoption of technologies: 4G has just become in 2019 the most used technology to transmit data, with only a few countries having plans to start the use of 5G. In addition, as the region consists of huge megalopolises with vast tracts of low population density, it requires efficient and clear incentives for investment.
