National broadband plans are catalysts to development and help facilitate the cooperation of human, business and technological resources for the purpose of building a strong broadband presence in a nation. Pyramid Research believes that operators have a vested interest in influencing and supporting NBPs because the dividends generated from a country’s digital development have the potential to contribute to increased service adoption and consequently operators’ revenue. Becoming a part of national broadband discussions in Latin America and offering support is a forward-looking strategy that helps create a win-win situation for all involved.
In this Insider, we examine national broadband plans that have debuted in select countries in Latin America and highlight key themes that are vital to success. This includes accomplishments that have been made through the help of having a clearly defined NBP in place. We provide project investments that the private sector has made to support NBPs, with special attention given to areas previously deemed to lack commercial potential. An analysis of the suitability of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to realize NBP objectives follows. The report concludes with case studies of more detailed national broadband plans from Brazil, Colombia and Chile.
