3G: The age of adulthood

According to measurements from INDEC, the Argentinean broadband market continues to rise, driven by the vague category "Wireless and Satellite." As discussed ( here ) from the 2Q09, the INDEC has formally including 3G access via USB that are actually running under the "Wireless and Satellite" are presumed to be counted from the 3Q08. After a simple process of unbundled, may be inferred that the Q1 2010, a USB 3G access operational and numbered 912,572. Growth is rapid, as with any massive mobile service. Anyway, note that in Q1 2010, added 216,000 new 3G access, the highest figure on record and the future of adventure technology for short-term.


Note: The method used to calculate 3G access is rudimentary as it is assigned a constant quarterly rate of additions to fixed wireless and satellite access. It should be noted that both technologies have, so far, a slow, almost single-handedly pushed Telmex WiMAX by Argentina. However, WiMAX will begin to push harder in the coming months as it is expected that DirecTV network, provided by Samsung, including commercial phase and Velocom, frustrated after the sale to Nextel, a pulse lying under this rule (found in vendor selection process.)

the disparity in sales of LCD TVs is not a phenomenon typical of Argentina, even South America. The spread of LCD devices is a global event that has spilled over to these shores after the saturation of mainstream markets. Corning, at the top of the value chain as the largest producer of LCD glass, gave a presentation on the evolution of demand. According to Corning, in 2009, LCDs accounted for 69% of all TVs shipped worldwide. In 2012, the LCD would account for 90% of units shipped.



Corning said that the phenomenon has shortened the time LCD replacement TVs. In turn, the LCD displays a higher growth rate than the average total TV market. So, the expectation is that the average firing LCD TVs per household worldwide.



Obviously, the expectations of growth are in developing countries. Corning figures for Latin America is included within the category ROW (Rest of World). However, television penetration in the region is far better than that exhibited ROW. According to some calculations I did for NexTV, in 2009, 94.80% of Latin American households had at least one television. In turn, the average number of appliances per household was 1.96. With the fever of the LCD and TDT, it is expected that by 2015, 96.69% of households have a TV and that the average per household appliances shoot at 1.99. In 2009, the LCD only represented 5.30% of the televisions of the region in 2015 and will be almost 42%.

The thrust of the LCD is also the thrust Digital TV, pay or air. And the hand of the above is just an interesting phenomenon: the hybrid TV. That is, the possibility of adding a channel receiver IP-Digital TV Set Top Box or TV, which raise the interactive features.

The TV attacks but I dreamed I went and returned satellites renewal and change

satellite in the world there is an annual event postponed: the "Investors Day" of SES Global, the holding company based in Luxembourg that is dealt with Intelsat for about 50% of the global business of selling satellite capacity. At each event, SES Global provides lots of information-each year, on the satellite industry, very small, with global revenues of around U.S. $ 10,000 million a year. The flood of data offered by SES Global in 2010 is debatable on many points but it is revealing about the leading role of DTH pay-TV business and the importance that you have that option in Latin America. SES Global

notes that Latin America is the region which exhibited the highest growth in demand for satellite capacity (see Plate 1). The holding company mentioned that demand for capacity in 2009 in the region of 642 transponders of 36 MHz, a figure slightly below the consensus-based industry in Latin America. By 2017, SES Global predicts that demand will climb to 960 transponders. In the satellite business is very risky project more than three years because the satellites have a limited lifespan (15 years average) and replacement of a unit is a very slow process (taking three years) which may occur or that the satellite will replace outdated or not is made but with the same capacity or a different amount (higher or lower). So, make a prediction to eight years, as presented SES is to straitjacket given the number of assumptions that must be implicit.



According SES Global, the engine of demand for satellite capacity in Latin America will be DTH. The analysis indicates that between 2009 and 2017 the DTH require 140 additional transponders. In turn, SES Global estimates that by 2017 there will be 27 platforms in service. According Telcos "Hello? , the Q2 2010 and were 17 DTH platforms in service and there are six that have announced they have permits to launch, bringing the SES Global forecast seems short.




Despite optimism about the progress SES Global demand for satellite capacity in Latin America, and DTH in particular, the projection of DTH subscribers in the region appears conservative (see Plate 3) . While the graph shows no figures, it appears that the volume of DTH subscribers expected by 2017 would be around the 15 -17 million, for 2015 and have climbed to 23 million according to calculations made recently to NexTV Latam. Of course, the growing demand for DTH capacity is not related to service subscribers, but with the growth of the number of video channels offered via DTH.



Plate 4 also displays a figure rarely seen: the prospect of growth in the number of channels offered by DTH satellite channel type. Although there has been an interesting increase in the supply of interactive and HD signals, the analog will be the dominant format among pay TV channels. To take this into account when decide to buy an HD TV!
