Description
The Colombian telecoms market continues to grow across all sectors although fixed-line connections seeminimal expansion and the penetration rate in the broadband segment remains low. Nonetheless, there areconsiderable opportunities for operators in these two markets. Colombian operators have been keen tooffer bundled services with IPTV launches from at least two municipal operators in 2008. Certainly dualand triple-play services will play a key roll in ensuring there is not a sharp decline in fixed-lineconnections.
However, BMI does forecast that the market will decline, although the growth in 2008 has led us torevise our estimates with little anticipation of a sudden drop off. The mobile market's continued growthwill, however, continue to impact the fixed-line market. For fixed-line operators, the new area of growthwill be in broadband services, with almost 2mn connections reported at the end of 2008.
Data from the CRT, the telecoms regulator, indicates that broadband subscriptions are not only growingbut average download speeds are also increasing. As content available over the internet needs everincreasingbandwidth to be run, the demand for faster internet connections will continue to rise.
Colombia's broadband market sees few subscriptions over 1Mbps, and improving networks will be a keyarea of development to push further growth. With strong competition in the market, prices should fall,allowing more subscribers to gain access to networks.
In this update we have concentrated on the fixed-line and broadband markets with regional breakdownsprovided highlighting how rural areas are yet to be reached in many cases. Bogotá accounts for the largestnumber of fixed lines and broadband connections in Colombia followed by other major cities. For themarket to continue to grow, networks will need to be expanded into rural areas to gain access to newsubscribers. The mobile data analysis has remained largely unchanged owing to this fixed-line andbroadband focus although forecasts have been fully updated.
