In Chile, as in other mature markets, data services are gaining relevance in the overall picture and
will be key factor for growth in the market, notes Derek Medlin, Senior Analyst at Pyramid Research
and co-author of the report. "Data will grow to represent 36 percent of total market in 2014 from 22
percent in 2009," he adds. The report found availability of mobile data plans and the widespread
availability of triple-play bundles, pushed by all fixed operators, will drive mobile and fixed
broadband uptake.
"We anticipate that mobile data revenue will represent nearly 35 percent of total mobile revenue
by 2014, from 12 percent in 2008, as a result of increasing adoption of mobile broadband
connectivity solutions such as datacards and browsing services and the higher usage of
infotainment services which include services such as ringtones, games, music, and video,"
continues Medlin.
