The Latin American telecommunications and technology market has experienced spectacular growth in the
last few years as mobile services permeate the region.
Mobile services have made the market outstrip GDP growth in some of the most important countries. Telecom services
have emerged as pertinent social and political issues across the region, as more individuals and businesses alike
turn to the web to meet their needs
Despite seeing increased competition within the region and increasing penetration of basic telecoms services,
many parts of the region are not enjoying what the Anywhere Network
is doing in other parts of the world. Issues range from regulatory hold ups, a consolidated playing field of competitors,
reduced capillarity for multinational firms and decreased consumer buying power. Together, these issues have meant a
lag in the development of the market compared to the cutting edge global developments.
