About the Report
Smartphone Trends in Latin America: The Impact of
Government Policies and Regulatory Intervention a
Telecom Insider Report, examines and sizes the handset
and smartphone markets at the global and Latin American
levels.
The report discusses the major handset-related
regulations implemented in the region, and it then
presents case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, analyzing the impact of
imposed regulations. The report concludes with a
summary of key findings and a set of recommendations.

Key Findings:
Imposing hefty duties on handset imports is a viable
option to foster local industry growth.
The reason the adoption of smartphones, and
particularly LTE-enabled smartphones, is important is the
positive impact these devices can have on ARPS levels.
In Latin America, the higher price of LTE-capable
smartphones remains a major inhibitor to mass LTE
adoption.
The deployment of LTE networks is in full swing in most
major Latin American markets, but service adoption
remains low. Mobile operators are under a lot of pressure
to offer LTE-capable smartphones at affordable prices, to
get a critical mass of subscribers and more quickly recoup
their LTE investments.

5. www.MarketResearchReports.com
Key Findings Continues…
It is crucial for mobile operators to be able to
expeditiously procure enough smartphones to support
the rollout of new technologies (e.g., LTE).
In Venezuela, for instance, the adoption of LTE services
has been muted, mainly because of the unavailability of
LTE-capable smartphones.
In Ecuador, if not revised, government-imposed quotas
on mobile handsets imports will negatively affect LTE
rollout efforts by the country's largest mobile operators
Claro and Movistar, which were recently granted
additional spectrum for the deployment of their LTE
networks.

6. www.MarketResearchReports.com
Key Findings Continues…
Regulators across the region are increasingly resorting to
banning the selling of carrier-locked handsets and forcing
carriers to unlock all previously sold, with the goal of
fueling competition at the service layer.
Banning the selling of locked handsets in itself doesn't
change the structure of the market, but it helps level the
playing field in the mobile segment.
In Peru, the SIM lock removal, coupled with
improvements in the mobile number porting process, has
helped smaller operators Entel and Bitel to steal
subscribers from incumbent operators Movistar and
Claro.
