 Peru - Broadband and Broadcasting Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Fixed broadband penetration in Peru is about 56% lower than the Latin American average. The slow development of broadband can be blamed in large part on the lack of market competition, which has made Movistar's ADSL prices among the most expensive in Latin America. The only tangible competition in Peru's broadband market comes from the cable modem service offered by Telmex/Claro as part of its triple-play bundle.
Public access, however, has made the Internet available to many Peruvians who would otherwise have been unable to afford it, especially among the younger generation. In fact, Peru is a world leader in terms of people who access the Internet in public places. About 56% of users still access the Internet from the cabinas públicas, but the number is decreasing in favour of home access.
This report provides an overview of Peru's Internet, broadband, and pay TV markets, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and broadband scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.

Perusat, a subsidiary of ChinaTel, rolls out a nationwide WiMAX (LTE-Ready) network; Russia's Yota promises to cover 12 regions of Peru with a WiMAX network; digital terrestrial TV has been launched using the ISBD-BR standard; Cable Mágico is re-branded Movistar TV; Telmex adopts the Claro brand for its broadband and cable TV services.

Peru - Fixed-Line Market and Infrastructure - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Peru's fixed-line teledensity has been stagnating since 2009 although it is the third-lowest in South America after Bolivia and Paraguay. About 63% of the country's fixed lines are in Lima and Callao, where teledensity is 19.7%. By contrast, in the mountainous region of Huancavelica teledensity is a mere 0.9%. Obstacles to fixed-line growth include widespread poverty, fixed-to-mobile substitution, expensive telephone services, and geographical inaccessibility in the Andean mountains and lowland Amazon jungles. An additional problem in the fixed-line industry is the theft of copper cables, which often leaves hundreds of subscribers without telephone service. Due to Peru's rugged territory, VSAT satellite networks have been used extensively to provide rural telecom coverage. CDMA 450 is also being deployed in rural and urban low-teledensity areas.
The incumbent operator, Telefónica del Perú, has adopted the group's mobile brand name, Movistar, to market all of its fixed-line services. Similarly, Telmex Perú and Claro Perú, previously sister companies, have been consolidated at the shareholder level and use the same brand name, Claro, for all services - whether fixed or mobile.
This report provides an overview of Peru's telecom infrastructure, together with profiles of major fixed-line operators, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and fixed-line scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.
Key developments:
Movistar's long-distance revenues fall 20% and its pay TV sales climb 19%; Movistar's fixed lines in service shrink while Claro's post double-digit growth rates; copper cable thefts shoot up 158% year-on-year; the national fibre-optic network continues to grow, reaching about 33,000km.
Companies covered in this report include:
Telefónica del Perú (trading as Movistar), Telmex Perú and Claro Perú (both trading as Claro), Americatel Perú, Gamacon, IDT, Convergia, Gilat To Home Perú, Rural Telecom, Gamacom, Valtron, and Nextel del Perú.

Peru - Mobile Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
Peru's mobile penetration is higher than average for Latin America, a remarkable achievement considering that the country's GDP per capita is far lower than the regional average. There are, however, huge geographical disparities within Peru. While mobile penetration is over 120% along the southern coast, it is less than 50% in a few Andean and Amazonian regions.
Three companies compete in the mobile market: Telefónica, trading as Movistar, is the leader; América Móvil, trading as Claro, is in second place; and third is Nextel del Perú. In early 2011, Vietnamese military-owned Viettel won spectrum to become the country's fourth mobile operator. Expectations in Peru are high, with mobile users keen to try Viettel's services, which are expected to become available by end-2011. Virgin Mobile has also announced plans to enter Latin America's mobile markets - including Peru - as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO).
To decrease the use of mobile phones for criminal activities, Peruvian prepaid mobile users have had to register their SIM cards. Almost one million unregistered users had their phones cut off in March 2011.
Accompanied by key market statistics and analyses, this report provides an overview of the market and a brief profile of mobile operators. It also contains scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.
Key developments:
Mobile penetration crosses the 100% milestone; mobile market growth is driven by postpaid customers, mobile broadband, and smartphones; Vietnam's Viettel enters the Peruvian mobile market; Viettel plans to invest US$250 million to deploy a fibre-optic network; Virgin Mobile plans to launch Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) services in Peru; the government plans to auction spectrum for LTE services.
Companies covered in this report include:
Movistar Perú, Claro Perú, Nextel del Perú, Viettel Peru, Virgin Mobile.

Peru - Telecom Market Trends, Key Statistics and Regulatory Overview
Synopsis
In 2010, Peru's telecom sector grew 13%, generating revenues of US$4.5 billion, and sales are likely to reach more than US$4.9 billion in 2011. Between 2011 and 2016, we see the market expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The fastest growing telecom markets are mobile, broadband, and pay TV. These three sectors account for an ever-increasing portion of the country's total telecom revenues, while traditional telephony sales stagnate. We expect this pattern to continue in 2011/12. Mobile broadband, in particular, has enormous growth potential in Peru, where it is able to fulfil a need that the fixed infrastructure has been unable to satisfy. While mobile subscribers have passed the 100% penetration milestone, fixed teledensity is only 10%. Competition is lively in the mobile market, but despite liberal licensing policies, the incumbent Telefónica del Perú (TdP) - trading as Movistar - continues to dominate Peru's fixed-line sector. The regulator has tried to increase competition mainly by regulating tariffs and charges. Although it succeeded in reducing TdP's monthly fixed-line charges by about 30%, these rates are still among the highest in Latin America.
This report provides an overview of Peru's telecommunications and regulatory environment, accompanied by statistical data, analyses, and outlook.
Key developments:
Osiptel reviews mobile termination tariffs and adopts differentiated interconnection charges for rural areas; mobile numbers are no longer attached to a geographical region but to a national ‘Mobile Virtual Area'; thanks to liberal telecom regulations and one of the highest GDP growth rates in Latin America, Peru's telecom sector is a profitable investment target.
Companies covered in this report include:
Telefónica del Perú (trading as Movistar), Claro Perú, Nextel Perú.
