Puerto Rico Country Outlook

Puerto Rico is one of the most advanced and fastest-growing telecommunications markets in the region. With more than 250 telecoms companies operating on the island, competition in every sector is fierce. Although incumbent Puerto Rico Telephone Company (PRTC) has over a 90% market share of the local market, its dominion is being increasingly challenged by Centennial, which already controls the remaining 10%. The evolution and dynamism of telecoms on the island is also a result of its strategic position: because Puerto Rico serves as a geographic and even a cultural link between the U.S. and Latin America, it has become the ideal springboard for American companies planning to enter Latin America. This 20-page report takes a comprehensive look at the Puerto Rican market, covering immediate issues facing the market, in the context of the political, economic, regulatory, and competitive environments. It includes fixed communications predictions, mobile communications predictions, vendor relationships, and risk assessment.
