Digital divide in Latin America : broadband price, quality and affordability in the region

Abstract

Spanish version available in IDRC Digital Library: Brecha digital en América Latina : precio, calidad y asequibilidad de la banda ancha en la regiónThe purpose of this paper is to understand the state of broadband price, speed and affordability in 19 Latin American countries, using data from a study by DIRSI of plans offered in the region. Analysis of the indicators shows that the region has advanced in terms of quality of access (speeds offered), although price outcomes are less optimistic. Disparities between countries are very significant, however. While some countries show significant progress, others lag in a high percentage of the indicators
