El Salvadors communications service providers generated $628m in fixed and mobile communications service revenues in 2003

(PRWEB) August 7, 2004 -- Research and Markets announces the addition of this new report entitled "Communications Markets in El Salvador" to its offerings.

El Salvador is one of the few markets in Latin America where the mobile communications market is larger than the fixed market. This relationship between fixed and mobile markets is set to be replicated across Central America as mobile adoption picks up in neighboring countries. While mobile communications services generated $248m in revenues in 2003, local services generated $209m. Domestic long-distance service revenues are relatively small in El Salvador given the small size of the country and the limited number of local areas.

El Salvadors communications service providers generated $628m in fixed and mobile communications service revenues in 2003. The sale of a 51% equity stake in CTE Telecom to America Móvil in 2003 will give a second wind to the fixed market. Growth in the mobile communications market has been impressive in recent years, fueled by the entrance of three competitors: Telefónica, America Movils Personal and Digicel. A laissez-faire regulatory environment will continue to enable new technologies and services (such as broadband Internet, VoIP, etc.) to be introduced more quickly than in other markets.

This 21-page report takes a comprehensive look at the Salvadoran market, covering immediate issues facing the market, in the context of the political, economic, regulatory, and competitive environments. It includes fixed communications predictions, mobile communications predictions, vendor relationships, and risk assessment.
