Video is the largest segment of data traffic in mobile networks expected to grow by around 60% annually until the end of 2018.
Technologies evolution
Mobile subscriptions by Technology and Region
2012 2018
Latin America will experience a technology shift ahead, by 2018, WCDMA/HSPA will be the dominant technology (~70%), however GSM/EDGE-only subscriptions will still have significant presence (~20%) and, LTE will reach ~10%

spectrum Available for imt per region
Out of a total 1177 MHz of identified spectrum in ITU RR, on average, ~ 1000 MHz available for licensing in each Region
Latin America Base: 850/900, 1800/1900, 2100 2013+: 1.7/2.1, 2500, 700 Future: 600, E850, 2.3, 1.5, & 3.5

• The lack of enough spectrum in the region is the major threat for massive MBB adoption
• Another challenge is the slow spectrum release process (i.e., typically between 6 – 10 yrs. from start)
