This document summarizes the status of fiber-to-the-home/building (FTTH/B) networks in Latin America based on a study conducted for the FTTH Council LATAM Chapter. The key findings are: 1) FTTH/B networks have grown substantially in Latin America from 2015-2016, with over 23 million homes passed and 4.5 million subscribers as of September 2016. 2) Mexico and Brazil lead the region in FTTH/B deployment and subscribers, but smaller markets like Jamaica, Barbados, and Peru are also growing rapidly. 3) The study forecasts continued strong growth of FTTH/B across Latin America through 2021, with over 8

6. A year where alternative ISP and Municipalities are
leading the FTTH/B evolution
• A positive evolution: 82 FTTx projects in the region
• Players different from incumbents have deployed fibre in a dynamic
way from 2015 to September 2016 covering with fibre more homes:
• Municipalities / Power Utilities have grown 33%
• Alternative operators growth: 19%
• Incumbents: Growth rate about 5%

8. 3. LATAM FTTH/B main trends

9. It has been a period with Mexico and Brazil as the
leading countries but also there has been an
interesting evolution in the Caribbean region….
• Mexico is still leading the LATAM FTTH/B market with 1.585 million subscribers
- +23% of subscribers Dec-15 to Sep-16
- Telmex is leading the retail market
- However, TotalPlay has entered to the big race increasing the FTTH/B homes passed by 35% in Sep 2016 and the FTTH/B subs in Sept 2016 by 64% from Dec 2015
• Brazil is reaching Mexico in the LATAM FTTH/B market with 1.572 million subscribers
- +26% of subscribers Dec-15 to Sep-16
- Telefónica continues its development plan investing in fibre deployment between 2015 and 2017 and extending agreement with the regulator in order to provide FTTH services in new cities.
- Hundreds of local ISPs involved, but in limited geographical rollouts
• Antel in Uruguay is one of the two most involved incumbents in the region (570,000 FTTH/B subs)
- Even if the trend of FTTH/B subscribers growth is decreasing at + 4% Dec-15 to Sep-16, 48% of FTTH/B HP have opted for a service based on FTTH connection
- National coverage: the coverage is considered as exhaustive in Uruguay
- Among the leading countries in the global ranking with a penetration rate (1) over 60% by September 2016
• Strong growth rates in smaller markets, confirming a general trend towards FTTH/B in the region, specially in the Caribbean
- Barbados +322%, Jamaica +1000%, Trinidad y Tobago 463%! And Peru : 262%
- Colombia +41%, Bolivia +40%

Aerial vs Underground
• Fibre deployment in LATAM is
perfomed in a big portion by aerial
means.
• Electricity and telephone poles are
commonly used.
• In countries like Barbados, the ratio is
95% aerial vs. 5% underground.
• In Brazil it is estimated 80% aerial vs
20% underground
• In Mexico the ratio is estimated in 60%

• 2 countries with a penetration rate > 10%
• 7 other countries with a penetration rate from
1% to 10%

16. Key points
Source: IDATE for FTTH Council LATAM Chapter
• LATAM users want more reliable Internet services with higher bandwidth:
Players are now convinced that FTTH access is the end game.
Low quality of existing copper as a driver: Telcos are betting on FTTH/B to promise innovative services and higher speed rates
• The competition between cablecos and telcos is a driver for FTTH/B. Some cablecos also
investing in Fiber access
• Players with presence in several countries in the region have realized about the importance to
migrate cooper infrastructure towards fibre.
• In most of cases, FTTH/B and LTE are together deployed in LATAM
• Several Governments in LATAM have promoted the creation of National Fibre Networks
Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica
