Spectrum is the ‘oxygen’ of the mobile industry and a vital resource in enabling the deployment of mobile broadband Latin American countries are well behind the spectrum allocation recommended by the ITU for 2020. The challenge for national regulators is how to make more spectrum available to the market in a timely fashion. The surge in data traffic due to the increasing penetration of smartphones demands innovative ways to manage and allocate spectrum Latin America saw a number of important spectrum auctions in the past few years, however, in many cases licensees were faced with stringent conditions attached to the spectrum, such as ambitious rural coverage targets The expansion of broadband penetration has become a goal for many governments that have created national broadband plans to coordinate public and private efforts in this space Moderator: Ari Lopes, Principal Analyst, Latin America Ovum Alcatel-Lucent Celedonio von Wuthenau, CALA Public Affairs Director, Americas Region Qualcomm Anne-Lise Thieblemont, Senior Director, Government Affairs Telefónica José Juan Haro, Director Wholesale and Regulation 1930-1935
