The telecommunications market in Nicaragua generated $445m in 2010, a small decline compared with 2009 due to lower voice revenue in the mobile and fixed segments. Those segments are still recovering from the recession in 2009. Voice revenues will experience a slower recovery due to operators’ push for data services.
Going forward, we expect growth to come from data services. Fixed broadband and mobile data will grow at CAGR of 21.4% and 16.2%, respectively. Yota’s market entry 2010 with WiMAX increased broadband penetration. Mobile voice will expand 6.9% over the next five years as mobile adoption increases closing the gap with the rest of Central American neighbors. VoIP will rapidly expand at a CAGR of 77.2% over the forecast period but will remain a very small piece of the total market (0.5% in 2015). Pay-TV services will top $39m in revenue in 2015, up from $26m in 2010.
