Executive Summary
Paraguay delays 5G spectrum auctionAlthough Paraguay’s mobile market accounts for around 97% of all telephony subscribers, as also the vast majority of internet connections, the regulator has been hesitant to auction 5G-suitable spectrum, suggesting that such spectrum would not be made available until 2024.
This delayed timetable was partly influenced by vandalism against cell towers in 2020, which had been linked to conspiracy theories circulating on social media falsely implicating 5G rollouts with Covid-19.
That aside, there remains considerable capacity within the country’s existing LTE networks. Although growth in the number of mobile broadband subscribers slowed in 2020 and 2021, there has been a dramatic increase in the data rates which consumers can access.
