"Venezuela Telecommunications Report Q3 2016" now available at Fast Market Research

The election of a more pro-b usiness government offers hope that Venezuela's stagnant telecoms market can be reinvigorated through the application of external investment. However, the judiciary and civil service are largely manned by socialist sympathisers , and we expect efforts to privatise incumbent CANTV will be resisted. Additionally, economic reforms will be slow to be applied and slower still to bring any tangible benefits, meaning that disposable incomes will remain low. Furthermore, the macroeconomic situation keeps deteriorating in the country with most recent news suggesting electricity blackouts and reduced workdays as the cash-strapped government looks to cope with its fiscal woes.

Latest Updates And Industry Developments

The mobile market shrank markedly in 9M 15 owing to the disconnection of inactive accounts and falling incomes. 3G/4G uptake proved more vibrant than expected due to state subsidies and enforced low tariffs.

The market posted a strong rebound according to official data, adding over 1.6mn subscribers in Q415, ending the year with 32.310mn subscribers.

The 'broadband' market has been shrinking as consumers discard dedicated mobile broadband access in favour of smartphone-delivered voice-and-data services . The ageing last-mile access network of CANTV cannot support wireline broadband expansion unless significant investment is obtained. We forecast 3.5mn broadband subscriptions by 2020, versus 3.4mn at the end of 2015.
