1Q08 Mobile Forecast Colombia 2007-2010 is Now Available.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c83967) announces the addition of new IE Market Research report "1Q08 Mobile Forecast: Colombia, 2007-2010" to their offering.

IEMR's Mobile Forecast on Colombia provides over 65 operational and financial metrics for the Colombia wireless market. We cover quarterly historical data starting in 3Q2003 and ending in 3Q2007. We also provide four-year forecasts at the operator level going out to 2010. Operators covered for Colombia include: Comcel (AMX), Movistar Colombia (TEF), and Tigo Colombia (MICC). Our Mobile Forecasts are updated quarterly and are available for one-time delivery or through regular updates.

Notable highlights of the 1Q08 Colombia Mobile Forecast include:

The wireless penetration level in Colombia will continue increasing and it will reach 89.0% in 2010. The number of total subscribers in the country will increase from our projected 32.5 million in 2007 to 40.4 million in 2010.

We are now forecasting a scenario in which the largest operator, Comcel, will see a stabilization of its market share over the forecast period. We are now predicting that Comcel's market share by subscribers will be 65.7% in 2010 (compared to our previous forecast of 59.6% and current 2007 projected levels of 67.5%). We are also predicting that Tigo Columbia (the 3rd largest operator) will see a major increase in its market share at the expense of Movistar Colombia (the 2nd largest operator). We are now forecasting that Tigo Colombia will see its market share increase from our projected 8.4% in 2007 to 12.9% in 2010 (compared to our previous forecasted market share of 6.5% in 2010 for Tigo Colombia).

We are revising our ARPU forecasts across the board for operators. Back in 4Q06, Tigo Colombia replaced Movistar as the operator with the highest ARPU in Colombia. We are predicting that this trend will continue during the forecast period, with Tigo Colombia registering the highest ARPU of US$ 14.18 per month (compared to our previous forecast of US$10.79 per month). Our forecast model also shows that Comcel will continue to receive the lowest ARPU among operators in Colombia at US$ 10.34 per month. Overall, Colombia will be the market where consumers pay the lowest ARPU in Latin America with average ARPUs of US$ 11.22 per month forecasted in 2010.

Our model is now predicting relative stability in EBITDA margins across the operator space with Comcel having the highest EBITDA margins at 53.0% in 2010.
