The Argentine telecom market generated an estimated $11.2bn in 2010, up 6.2% from the previous year. The mobile voice and data segments alone generated 61.8% of the total revenues for the sector, while the pay-TV and traditional voice segments accounted for 13.4% and 12.7% of total revenue respectively. As we move forward in our forecast, we expect mobile service revenue to increase its relative weight in the market, pushed by greater demand for mobile data services. Fixed circuit-switched voice will continue to lose ground as more customers migrate to mobile and VoIP services. In the media sector, the approval of Argentina’s new media law opens new opportunities for alternative operators and telecom cooperatives looking to launch in the IPTV services, while it penalizes dominant cable TV provider Cablevision, which could be forced to divest some of its assets.
