Business Wire, Nov 6, 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bea3a6/peru_convergence) has announced the addition of the "Peru - Convergence Broadband and Internet Market" report to their offering.

Internet user penetration in Peru is considerably higher than average for Latin America, a remarkable achievement compared with the country's other economic indicators. The success of the Internet in Peru is primarily due to the mushrooming of cheap public Internet facilities known as cabinas pAblicas. In fact, Peru is a world leader in terms of users who access the Internet in public places. The Peruvian government is aiming to increase broadband penetration from 2% to more than 3% by 2011. Several government-subsidised broadband projects (FITEL) are underway or up for tender using the reverse bid mechanism. Accompanied by market statistics and analyses, this report provides an overview of the Internet, broadband, and pay-TV markets in Peru, as well as developments in convergence strategies.
