(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Telecom reform started up in Latin America in 1980s and has been privatized gradually. So far, most telecom markets in Latin American countries have been open to the outside and privatized, yet privatization face strong opposition in some nations. Private investment conduces to the fast growth of mobile and long-distance call, but causes the stay of fixed line density growth (currently at about 18% in the entire Latin America).

Executive Summary : Mobile subscribers in 19 Latin American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Cuba, Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominica, Venezuela, and Uruguay) registered 444 million in 2008, with a penetration rate of around 78%.
