Chile - Convergence, Broadband & Internet Market - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts

Synopsis

Chile’s Internet and broadband penetration rates are the highest in Latin America. This can be attributed to the country’s relatively high GDP, its receptivity towards new technologies, and a setup that has succeeded in creating some competition between broadband providers. In fact, when it comes to new technologies, Chile tends to be Latin America’s pioneer. The region’s first triple play, WiMAX, and IPTV services, for example, were launched in Chile. FttX infrastructure has been deployed on a limited scale. In September 2009, Chile adopted the Japanese standard ISDB-T/MPEG-4 for digital terrestrial TV services, with a ten-year period for analogue TV to be completely replaced by digital TV. This report provides an overview of Chile’s Internet, broadband, and pay-TV markets, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and broadband scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.
