Argentina’s Internet penetration is twice as high as the world average – yet less than half compared with countries such as Norway and the Netherlands. The broadband market is one of the most developed in South America, with penetration only second to Chile’s. ADSL has consolidated its leadership, overtaking cable modem, which used to be the main broadband technology. Three broadband players (Telefónica de Argentina, Telecom Argentina, and Grupo Clarín) compete neck-a-neck for market share. Broadcasting and media convergence suffer from regulatory battles involving the government, pay TV companies, and telecom operators. This report provides an overview of Argentina’s Internet, broadband, and broadcasting market, accompanied by relevant statistics and analyses.
