Colombia - Fixed-Line Market & Infrastructure - Overview, Statistics & Forecasts

Paul Budde Communication Pty Ltd, February 2011, Pages: 15

In Colombia, both the number of fixed lines in service and the national teledensity have been decreasing. Most of the fixed telephone lines are concentrated in the larger cities. The country has some 30 local telephone providers, partly private, and partly owned by the municipalities where they operate. Indeed, the participation of private capital in local telephony is relatively small, though companies are gradually selling shares to private investors. Telefónica Telecom has been overtaken by ETB in terms of fixed lines in service. The third largest operator is municipally owned UNE, which has seen an increase in fixed line customers and has been particularly active in offering bundled services. The fourth place is occupied by Telmex Colombia, which is also steadily increasing its fixed line market share thanks to triple play packages. This report provides an overview of Colombia’s telecom infrastructure, together with profiles of all major and some minor fixed-line operators, accompanied by relevant statistics, analyses, and fixed-line scenario forecasts for the years 2015 and 2020.
