A new benchmark of Cullen International addresses government policies to promote the deployment of full-fibre broadband networks ((Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) or Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH)) in 11 countries of the Americas.
The benchmark shows that most countries do not yet have a specific policy in this regard. Only Ecuador set specific targets for the deployment of FTTH networks.
Of the 11 countries surveyed, only Argentina and Brazil offer incentives for the private deployment of high-capacity networks:
- Argentina: 15 years’ regulatory relief for operators that build fibre networks; and
- Brazil: tax exemptions and low-cost loans for high-capacity fixed network deployment.
Fibre is the predominant broadband access technology in most of the surveyed countries.
