Costa Rica is the regional leader in 4G data consumption through mobile devices and 4G networks.
America Movil (Claro) and Telefonica (Movistar) agree that Costa Rica is the country with the highest data traffic in Central America, this is because it is the only country that does not charge for downloading data, but rather by the speed offered by providers.
In 2015 Central America will sell $2 billion in paid television and broadband services, both wireless and cable.
A report from consulting company Signals Telecom foresees a battle in broadband services, as the average speeds offered in Central America are below South American and Caribbean averages.
They also expect competition to cause improvements in 3G coverage, and the introduction of more added value services.
In 2014, the market for fixed and mobile telecommunications in El Salvador will be twice the current one, according to a report by Pyramid Research.
El Salvador is ranked 12 in Latin America in terms of market size, and it is expected that the telecommunications industry in the country will generate $1.5 million in 2009, said José Magaña, analyst and author of the report.
