Mobile Economy Latin America 2013
Mobile is already a cornerstone of the economy in Latin America, generating over 3.7% of the region’s GDP in 2012, as well as making important contributions to employment and public funding. Mobile also makes an important social contribution, helping to close the digital divide and addressing a range of social issues in areas such as health, education and sustainable development. However, if the mediumterm potential of the mobile industry to drive social and economic development in the region is to be fully realised, it requires a supportive and transparent regulatory regime.
