| Brazil dominates the Latin American Internet market in terms of user numbers. In terms of penetration, it occupies approximately the third place, behind Uruguay and Chile and slightly ahead of Argentina. Since 2002, Brazil has experienced a growing migration from dial-up to broadband. While virtually all cable TV companies offer cable modem services, ADSL is the access technology of choice, accounting for 84% of the country’s broadband market. Convergence strategies are gaining popularity in Brazil. With the widespread development of VoIP, more and more companies are looking to incorporate Internet telephony with their broadband offerings. In October 2004, TV Cidade and TVA were the first Brazilian operators to adopt the triple play strategy, combining VoIP, broadband and pay TV services. |
