Market Research Reports, Inc. has published an informational research report regarding telecommunications in Latin America. The report explores the various types of mobile infrastructure sharing, their operation, and the economic return they yield. It also identifies the difficulties mobile operators face in mobile infrastructure sharing and recognizes Latin America’s thriving industry developments. The report, titled “Latin America: Regulatory Mandates and LTE Driving Infrastructure Sharing and Tower Offloading Deals,” reveals several insightful findings, amongst these, that mobile infrastructure sharing can reduce operating expenses by 20% to 30%. The sizeable investment needed for LTE deployment combined with government-imposed coverage requirements has elicited active infrastructure sharing in Latin America. Mobile operators in Brazil and Colombia have encouraged LTE infrastructure sharing agreements in an effort to reduce the expenses associated with establishing their LTE networks while simultaneously meeting coverage guidelines.

As a result, Latin America’s mobile operators are pursuing tower offloading/outsourcing in order to achieve expeditious operational benefits and use funds from liquidated assets to improve their debt position or pursue other strategic investments. The report concludes that recent infrastructure sharing developments have improved telecommunications throughout Latin America. The growing acceptance of tower outsourcing may change the future of telecommunications throughout the continent.
