www.researchandmarkets.com - Research and Markets ( www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8cd8d6/chile_mobile_mar) has announced the addition of the "Chile - Mobile Market - Overview and Statistics" report to their offering.
Chile has lost its South American leadership in terms of mobile penetration, having been overtaken by Argentina and Uruguay, but its mobile market remains strong, with an average of nine out of ten people owning a mobile phone. After years of slippage, we find that Chile's mobile ARPU is rising, partly because of expanding mobile data service, and partly because of growth in postpaid client ratios. Telefonica's Movistar, Entel PCS, and America Movil's Claro are engaged in a lively competition for mobile market share. All three operators have launched 3G networks using their existing
spectrum, while the government prepares to launch a 3G auction. In this report, we review Chile's mobile market, we take a look at the country's mobile operators, and we provide relevant statistics and analyses.
