TELECOMMUNICATIONS: THE SECTOR OF GREAT OPPORTUNITIES

The line of the global economy with the most opportunities for growth in this decade is telecommunications. Virtually every aspect of human life will be related to connectivity and cloud services.

The Internet is the oxygen that people and companies need to learn, grow, communicate, have fun, do business and be more productive. Connectivity translates into development and opportunities.

However, every great opportunity brings its share of challenges; competition will become increasingly fierce, monopolistic positions will become more acute, regulation will become more complex and profit margins will become narrower.

The future of telecommunications companies requires high levels of innovation, flexibility, creativity, quality, efficiency, service and, above all, a great deal of stress.

NEUTRAL NETWORKS IN LATIN AMERICA

Decentralization of Internet interconnections in Colombia

Implementation of new technologies in Telecommunication Networks

Historically, the provision of TELECOMMUNICATIONS services has been closely linked to the ownership of the network infrastructure, i.e., any company or person wishing to provide TELECOMMUNICATIONS services requires its own infrastructure, a concept that, although still in force, many governments, and social organizations, and associations, mainly in first world countries, propose to reevaluate it through infrastructure sharing models.

Moderating questions

Is it realistic to think about network neutral business models in Latin America?

Does a TELECOMMUNICATIONS operator lose control of its business due to neutral networks?

Is it more profitable to implement an infrastructure-sharing model based on neutral networks?

Is it a good alternative for ISPs to rent their infrastructure for others to exploit commercially?
