 Colombia - Broadband & Broadcasting Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
Helped along by a regulatory framework that encourages competition and by government efforts to reduce the ‘digital divide', broadband is growing strongly in Colombia. In fact, this is one of the few Latin American countries that obliges dominant telecom operators to provide Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) and wholesale services. ADSL is the leading broadband technology, but cable broadband continues to grow both in subscriber numbers and in geographical coverage thanks to the popularity of triple play solutions. IPTV, offered by UNE-EPM, is attracting a rapidly growing number of subscribers. The cable TV sector has undergone major consolidation and, as a result, two companies, Telmex and UNE, together control 80% of the market. This report provides an overview of Colombia's Internet, broadband, and pay TV markets, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and broadband scenario forecasts for the years 2010, 2015 and 2020.

Colombia - Fixed-Line Market & Infrastructure - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
In Colombia, both the number of fixed lines in service and the national teledensity have been decreasing. Most of the fixed telephone lines are concentrated in the larger cities. The country has some 30 local telephone providers, partly private, and partly owned by the municipalities where they operate. Indeed, the participation of private capital in local telephony is relatively small, though companies are gradually selling shares to private investors. Telefónica Telecom has been overtaken by ETB in terms of fixed lines in service. The third largest operator is municipally owned UNE, which has seen an increase in fixed line customers and has been particularly active in offering bundled services. The fourth place is occupied by Telmex Colombia, which is also steadily increasing its fixed line market share thanks to triple play packages. This report provides an overview of Colombia's telecom infrastructure, together with profiles of all major and some minor fixed-line operators, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and fixed-line scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.

Colombia - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts
Synopsis
Although the Colombian mobile market has slowed down, it holds significant growth potential, particularly in the areas of mobile broadband and Value Added Services (VAS). The government is raising the spectrum cap from 55MHz to 60MHz per mobile operator, and the year 2011 promises to be a lively one for spectrum bidding. An auction will be held for 30MHz in the 1.9GHz band (to be used for 3G services), and there are tender plans for spectrum in the 1.7/2.1GHz and 2.5GHz bands. Having won 50MHz of spectrum in the 2.5GHz-2.69GHz band, fixed line operator UNE is rolling out Latin America's first 4G network using Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. Accompanied by key market statistics and analyses, this report provides an overview of major developments in the market and brief profiles of all mobile operators. The report also contains scenario forecast for the mobile telephony market for the years 2010, 2015 and 2020.

Colombia - Telecom Market Trends, Key Statistics & Regulatory Overview
Synopsis
Colombia's telecommunications could offer substantial returns for investors willing to take on emerging market risks. The outlook is promising for the country's economy, which is forecast to grow by an average of 4.5% yearly during the 2010-20 decade. The Colombian telecom market has been experiencing intensifying competition, increasing convergence, and the emergence of a rapidly growing broadband sector. During 2011, radical transformations are expected both in terms of market consolidation and in the provision of new services, with fixed-line operators ETB and Emcali seeking strategic partners and/or investors, and sister companies Telmex and Comcel combining their fixed and mobile operations. Competition will receive a further boost from number portability, to be implemented in July 2011. This report provides an overview of Colombia's telecom sector and regulatory environment, accompanied by statistical data, analyses, and outlook.
