Guatemala: Introduction of LTE Services and Operator Efforts to Enhance 3G Networks to Drive Growth in Data Segment, a new Country Intelligence Report, offers a precise, incisive profile of Guatemala’s mobile and fixed telecommunications and pay TV markets based on comprehensive proprietary  data and insights from our research in the Guatemalan market. Published annually, this presentation, quality, executive, level report provides detailed analysis of the near term opportunities, competitive dynamics and
evolution of demand by service type and technology/platform across the fixed telephony, broadband, mobile and pay TV sectors, as well as a review of key regulatory trends

Key Highlights:

• By year end 2014 mobile operators Movistar and Claro reported a combined net loss of mobile subscriptions in Guatemala. This disconnection is the result of operators’ internal policies to clean up their bases and improve their current ARPS levels.
• The report projects Guatemala closed 2014 with approximately 2.5m fixed access lines, with PSTN lines accounting for over 72% of the total, more than a 3% decline from the previous year. Despite the fact that DSL will continue to be the most adopted broadband technology between 2014 and 2019,we expect cable to expand at a faster pace, as Tigo has announced plans to invest in upgrading and increasing its network capacity in Guatemala.
