The 1990's witnessed the rapid liberalization of Latin America's
Telecom sector and the proliferation of investment in operating
capacity, some of which turned out to be poorly spent. As a result, the
industry suffers from a glut of long-haul and metropolitan technology
infrastructure, while technology penetration continues to lag.
The wave of foreign direct investment across all sectors has brought
historic investment in IT, particularly at the Enterprise level.
Internet and cellular connectivity rates skyrocketed across the Americas
in the 90's generating new hardware demand amongst the upper and middle
classes. Moving forward, IT producers need to boost sales to SMEs and
the working class consumer in order to sustain growth.
InfoAmericas combines both the IT and Telecom industries in its
Technology practice. Since 1994, our team has advised clients in all of
the leading segments of both industries. In IT, our consultants have
studied the Enterprise, SME and Consumer markets for software, hardware
and IT services. In the Telco arena, InfoAmericas has advised global
leaders in services, infrastructure equipment and operating equipment.
