Latin America Telecom Outlook 2017: All Aboard the Digital Transformation Bandwagon - Research and Markets


Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Telecom Outlook 2017: All Aboard the Digital Transformation Bandwagon" report to their offering.

Apart from regular overviews of the ICT industry in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Colombia, topics in the last year included Pay TV vs OTT, Startup Culture, Smart Cities and Adoption of Cloud Platforms."

The Latin American region has probably passed an inflection point at which most of the population is open to using a smartphone app if they learn of one that meets their needs and have access to a suitable device. Furthermore, the existence of community internet centers means they will also use those apps on a desktop PC.

Although governments in Latin America are working hard to ensure universal access to the internet, it is striking to think that in the not too distant future there will be people in the region who have not yet been online, but will nevertheless work in environments where their tools or vehicles are connected.

The precursors of this vision are already in place in Latin America, where operators already provide M2M platforms and 4G networks, and governments promote smart city initiatives. The exciting thing is that while it is xisting internet coverage that makes the internet of things (IoT) possible, the new service possibilities give governments and operators even more reason to increase coverage. A lot of the developments expected in 2017 are geared towards that scenario. So while it was smartphones, "shared economy" services and Pokemon Go that shaped 2016, they are probably just a foretaste of the changes that the digital economy promises for 2017.

1. Introduction


2. IoT This, IoT That
