DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Dominican
Republic – Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and Analyses”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
The Dominican Republic’s fixed-line teledensity is well below the Latin
American average, a legacy of under-investment in network infrastructure
over the years. In common with other markets in the region, the mobile
sector has become the preferred platform for voice services. With the
rapid development of HSPA and LTE services, mobile broadband has also
taken off.
The Dominican Republic’s income inequalities are still reflected in the
distribution of telephony services, with many communities having very
restricted access to service. The government has been addressing the
issue of access in recent years and has funded a number of public
projects to extend the reach of services to rural and underserved areas.
Considerable changes have developed since the auction of spectrum in May
2014, particularly with the launch of commercial LTE services.
Consolidation in the sector was affected when Orange Group, having
invested some $150 million in its local network, sold Orange Dominicana
to Altice Group. At the same time, Altice Group acquired the integrated
telecoms services provider Tricom Telecom. Altice Group is looking to
sell its local unit, while Vietnam’s Viettel in late 2018 expressed an
interest in investing in the country’s telecom sector.
Key Developments:
- Claro announces major investment programs through to 2022;
- Altice sells mobile tower business;
- Progress made on National Fiber Optic Network project;
-
Altice incorporates Dominican Republic within a re-organised
international division; - Wind Telecom expands LTE infrastructure;
- Mobile Number Portability time reduced to two days;
-
