matrix fixed income in 2009

In 2009, the fixed communications business telecoms Telefónica and Telecom continued his run up and scratched the $ 10,000 million. In dollar terms, of course, the development of fixed service has had a more conservative direction, but no less worthwhile. In turn, confirmed the change in the matrix of fixed income business of the incumbent. In 2009, for the first time, data and Internet service was the main item in the wireline business of Telefónica and Telecom.





Obviously this does not mean that the billing for subscriptions and services measured but has decreased the supply of both items to total revenues of the wireline business has lost weight compared with the more rapid development of Data and Internet section. Without doubt, in the configuration of the new array of fixed income business has carved a decisive promotions, double-telephony traffic access-plane launched by incumbent firms from 3Q07. It confirms this to see that the sum of items + Measured + Access Pass has gained greater weight since 2008 and have resulted in a sustained increase in total revenue.



Although 2009 was not a good year for the sale of broadband access, especially during the first half of the year has greatly enhanced the efficiency of the incumbent last mile to the point that 28.6% of fixed lines in service had an associated broadband access.



However, even in the Tren de la Alegría the duds of the Pink Panther intimidates a child. And in the fixed, shows that while traffic for calls and the number of lines in Serbian grow and grow, there are few lines installed to supply the demand. and classic ... it happens that the tariff freeze .



And Colorín Colorado, in 2009 there was a low relationship between the amount of investment and income. Although, it should be mentioned, which shrank dramatically in the fixed network disbursements during 2009 was Telefónica.

The new fixed broadband competition sharpens the knife but is whistling softly

With a very low profile, two heavyweights have entered the broadband market with the strategy of very high speeds at very low prices. Telmex and promotes its GPON network in some districts of West suburbs-Moron, Precautionary and Home-through door to door strategy with brochures that promote the "fiber to your house" ( here and here.) DirecTV and would have a capture 0800 for users with their WiMAX network in Mendoza, called DirecTV Net, and apparently at speeds from 3 Mbps to 7 Mbps ( here ).

Telmex announced last year in 2Q09 corporate balance its decision to proceed with a GPON network ( here ). At that time, the company described the development was designed to provide access and telephony to the SME market. In pamphlets distributed Telmex now in western suburbs, indicates that the bet is also home (used equipment Huawei terminals). Last year, Telmex had already designed a residential WiMAX product with the goal of matching the price offered access to the incumbent telephone +. The result was an offer of $ 149 for a 512 Kbps access and a phone line with inclusive minutes. That, it was said was a "rolled her", as that price would raise a return on investment long term even though the company had made CPE equipment of Chinese origin to an excellent rate of funding. However, this strategy had an unclear strategic sense, as the WiMAX not guarantee an optimal service quality to justify such an effort. Now, the proposal in GPON is much more aggressive on price, offered rates (between 1 Mbps and 5 Mbps) and minutes included (3000 and 1000 local NLD). Without doubt, the stakes are clearly winning the residential market, even at a loss. It should be noted that the bandwidth would support the proposed video capabilities, with which the recovery of investment could be accelerated.



Of course, when the extent of the GPON network is limited and Telmex have to see what the expansion plans. Although Telmex Argentina has a WiMAX network, much of the subsidiaries in the region has relegated this option for wired developments. The last to do so was Brazil's Embratel and that since 2010 has its own HFC tended complementary to that of his partner NET.

DirecTV also committed to broadband. The company has a frequency of 3.5 GHz, which belonged to ALPHATEL, with which he made various technology trials in Mendoza with Samsung. The service would be called DirecTV Commercial Net and it would be but for now have not been able to get prices (updated , photo here where the 3 Mbps is charged $ 60 for guests of DTH). According to some comments, would be offered speeds between 3 Mbps to 7 Mbps (Seems a lofty goal) and surely would give priority to sales within packages including DTH and access. It should be noted that DirecTV Latin America has a clear strategy to move forward with wireless last mile in the region. Already have a ready network in Brasilia, Brazil, which has been provided by Samsung, which operates on the 2.5 GHz band, however, still can not launch the service to the extent that the regulator, Anatel, has decided the destination that will give that band. It is speculated that the current holders of MMDS spectrum should return 140 MHz to 190 MHz that are allocated and the rest will be auctioned to wireless broadband. Precisely, DirecTV recently lost a competition held by UNE for 60 MHz in the 2.5 GHz band organized in Colombia where authorized to provide mobile services on that spectrum. So we should not forget that DirecTV is interested in the 2.5 GHz band, a spectrum history and in Argentina also crave and Yota ChinaTel.

Digital TV is still a puzzle

Implementation of Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT), under the ISDB-T standard in Argentina is still an ongoing process and questions-core or derivatives, which will clarify, or not, on that same gear . The Government, in time, preferred to play the mystery. But as they begin to drop the injunction against the law Media, it's time to define the model TDT. Argentina out of World decos to buy cheap (?).

spectrum level, Argentina has 12 VHF channels (2 to 13) and 48 UHF (21 to 69, 53 does not count because it is used for Radio Astronomy), all with a 6 MHz bandwidth of State already 4 channels reserved for DVB-T UHF 22 to 25 - and announced that it will take another four, still unidentified. It has also been reflected through the Official Bulletin of the CNC recommendation to migrate to existing pay TV satellite systems from UHF channel 42, there are 9 operators in different regions of the country that, together, would amount to no more than 250,000 subscribers.

Suspected that these systems pay TV via UHF only be allowed to operate between channels 42 to 51, which would yield a total of 54 MHz Although the space in question would be lower than the 60-90 MHz UHF payments set forth in Currently, the difference would be offset through the digitization of the supply in order to multiply the number of signals offered on a single analog channel. The problem is that many of those payment systems are already digital UHF on the DVB-T standard. For those cases, the Government's proposal would be to change the scan for DVB-T ISDB-T. The supposed official recommendation would come to mind that the ISDB-T uses MPEG-4 compression, more efficient than MPEG-2 DVB-T, and because it would give the nod to pay on arming offers 1.2 million DTT set-top boxes that the Government distribute free of charge. Of the three payments UHF systems presence in Greater Buenos Aires, and Telecentre Antina have already been agreed and the third is Cablevision's not yet known their views. Even telecommunications cooperatives would also be interested in this model which could increase the supply of DTT, which in itself is already an increased amount of free TV channels with pay TV channels, all on a single receptor ( here ).

Although the supply of TV via Freeview will be open free of charge, the Government does not seem to have problems with the presence of pay proposals that are complementary to public service. In fact, several telecommunications operators in Argentina to discuss and offer ADSL modems with ISDB-T receiver built. Under this scheme could provide added value services for payments on the IP connection: Video on Demand, Pay for View, Catch Up, etc.. From a leading cable operator in Argentina, downplay that possibility, at least in the short term, since the required broadband connection should be robust, so that conditioning would only apply to 10% of the base Telefónica's broadband and Telecom. In addition, questions are likely to arise regulatory.

If payments UHF systems are located between channels 42 and 51, looking to auction off the space between 52 to 69 channels for wireless broadband services, the famous band of 700 MHz by any mobile operator would pay given their good fortune spread capabilities resulting in less investment in infrastructure. However, this possibility would require a bureaucratic miracle: the telecommunications and broadcasting authorities should agree.


So, the UHF spectrum from 21 to 41 would be allocated for the implementation of DTT. There are 21 channels per local area, including the State has already claimed 8, allowing a huge potential signals, at least 40. Thus, that principle was broken, never captured in the Media Act, which was promised by the sharing of the spectrum in equal thirds to the state, private and social organizations.

UHF The remaining 13 channels should be granted to existing analog TV stations to broadcast during analog-digital simulcast, a process that has not yet established a formal term but that the authorities set a maximum term of 10 years . Since, for example, in Buenos Aires there are only 4 private open TV stations, given plenty of space for new channels channels, private or community. The question is how much spectrum will be given to those stations, present or future. In theory, should be 6 MHz If so, the question is whether multiprogramming is permitted, ie the possibility of transmitting a signal over a single channel of 6 MHz, as permitted by DTT, which was the key success in Europe. The above triggers another question: do any of those signs "extra" could be paid? The regulatory history of the region are not unanimous. Multiprogramming Brazil only allows for state broadcasters, Chile, still under discussion in Parliament, and Peru allow the possibility of issuing several signals simultaneously and require only one of them is a mirror of the analog. In Mexico, the end of 2009, TV Azteca managed to open court-multiprogramming failure is not yet final, but the offer should be free.
