Paraguay Internet Usage, Broadband
and Market Reports
Budde Telecom Market Report -
Regional, Paraguay
Paraguay has the lowest fixed-line teledensity and also the
lowest Internet user penetration in South America. The
state-owned incumbent, Copaco, is known for inefficiency and
overstaffing. Paraguay remains one of the few Latin American
countries where the fixed-line market is neither privatised nor
liberalised. The mobile and Internet sectors have been open to
competition since 1995 and mobile phones outnumber fixed lines in
service by more than four to one. All four mobile operators
provide GSM services. In July 2005, America Movil entered the
Paraguayan market when it acquired Porthable, the smallest
Paraguayan mobile telco, from Hutchison Whampoa. This report
provides an overview of Paraguay's telecom sector, relevant
statistics, and brief profiles of the main operators.
