Brazil - Fixed-Line Market and Infrastructure - Overview & Statistics

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/26037d/brazil_fixedlin) has announced the addition of the "Brazil - Fixed-Line Market and Infrastructure - Overview & Statistics" report to their offering.

Three regional incumbents (Telesp, Oi, and Brasil Telecom) dominate 87% of Brazil’s fixed lines in service, but their market share is being slowly eroded. GVT has emerged as one of the most successful fixed-line competitors, using hybrid fixed-line/fixed-wireless technology, and offering VoIP services over one of Latin America’s first Next Generation Networks. An ever-increasing number of companies offer services, though a drive towards consolidation pervades all sectors of the Brazilian telecom market. A merger between regional incumbents Oi and Brasil Telecom has been on the cards for some time. This report provides an overview of Brazil’s telecom infrastructure, together with profiles of all major and some minor fixed-line operators, accompanied by relevant statistics.
