This required an exceptional undertaking by the company. We entered new markets, ex- panded both coverage and capacity everywhere, and adopted new technologies, putting together a common technological platform for voice and data services in Latin America. And we provided the commercial impetus required to drive subscriber growth. These efforts were costly in relation to the size of our operations. But as revenue growth followed subscriber growth, we gradually gained scale. And in so doing our process of expansion became less taxing in relative terms. Hence, whereas in 2006 we gained roughly as many subscribers as the year before (approximately 30 million), our EBITDA margins actually improved by 6.5 per- centage points. Thanks in large part to our efforts, today more than one out of two persons in Latin America has a wireless phone. And in the process, we built for our shareholders a company with world-class scale, a rapidly growing cash flow and a healthy bal- ance sheet that continues to face strong subscriber growth in the region where we operate and which is well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities that may arise in the future. 1 Our company is financially strong and well positioned to capture the growth RELEVANT FINANCIAL DATA in Latin America and to take advantage of the Shareholder Information opportunities in the future.

  • Annual Report 2000
    2000 Annual Report 2 PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION Embratel Participações S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, was formed upon the reorganization of Telecomunicações Brasileiras S.A. Telebrás, a corporation organized under the laws of Brazil that, together with its operating subsidiaries, was the primary provider of public telecommunications services in Brazil. We refer to Telebrás, together with its operating subsidiaries, as the Telebrás System. On May 22, 1998, the shareholders of Telebrás approved the restructuring of the Telebrás System to form, in addition to Telebrás, twelve new telecommunication companies, known as the New Holding Companies, by means of a procedure under Brazilian Corporate Law called cisão or split-up. The New Holding Companies were allocated substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Telebrás, including the shares held by Telebrás of the operating subsidiaries of the Telebrás System. The New Holding Companies, together with their respective subsidiaries, comprise three regional fixed-line operators, eight regional cellular operators and one domestic and international long-distance operator. The restructuring of the Telebrás System into the New Holding Companies and their respective subsidiaries is referred to in this annual report on Form 20-F as the Breakup of Telebrás. We are one of the New Holding Companies formed upon the Breakup of Telebrás. In the Breakup, all of the share capital of Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicações, or Embratel, held by Telebrás, which represented 98.75% of the total share capital of Embratel, was transferred to us. We are the premier communications provider in Brazil offering a wide array of advanced communications services over our own state-of-the-art network.

  • América Móvil 2011 ANNUAL REPORT
    América Móvil 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Coming Together AMÉRICA MÓVIL is the leading provider of communication services in Latin America and one of the five largest in the world in terms of equity subscribers and market capital- ization. It has operations in eighteen countries, covering a combined population of over 800 million people. State- of-the-art products and quality services are available for more than 300 million acceses that make up América Móvil´s base including 242 million wireless subscribers, 29 million fixed lines, 15 million fixed broadband accesses and 13 million television subscribers. Commitment to the region, proximity to its clients and an ability to take advantage of the opportunities it encounters will allow América Móvil to continue to deliver on revenues and profit growth. Coming Together We have concluded a two-year period that was truly trans- formational for us. Our revenues shot up 57% and became more diversified as we become an integrated telecom op- erator in most of our markets. We consolidated our strate- gic position in the Latin American market and are ready to expand our reach to other regions. 1 Convergence Technological convergence is driving the creation of integrated fiber-based networks that bring together different tele- com platforms into one. With the acquisition of Telmex in Mexico and Telmex Internacional in South America, we have laid the ground for the development of major “data highways” to transport data to and from mobile devices, personal computers and TVs. We are expanding the reach, capacity and velocity of our fiber-based networks and linking them to our mobile net- works so that they become one and the same.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide in Tropical South America
    BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IN TROPICAL SOUTH A MERICA Page 1/25 April 2016 Bridging the Digital Divide in Tropical South America Eduardo GRIZENDI, Michael STANTON RNP - Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa, Rua Lauro Müller, 116, 11th floor, Botafogo, 22290-906, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil e-mail: mailto:[email protected] , mailto:[email protected] Paper type Case study. Abstract We describe an alternative for bringing broadband telecommunications to regions with little or no fixed infrastructure, such as roads, railways or power lines, for the installation of fibre optic cables, but which possess river systems which permit the use of well-known submarine technologies. The paper describes the adoption of such an alternative in the Amazon region of Brazil, and proposes its more widespread application. Differently from the oceans, river systems exhibit more variable behaviour due to dynamic alterations in courses, depth and flow. An example is the quantity of solid material being carried downstream, which might damage underwater cables. In 2015, a proof of concept was demonstrated by building a 7 km stretch of cable in the Negro river near to Manaus in Brazilian Amazonia. At the time of writing a 220 km pilot project is being carried out on the Solimões (upper Amazon) river, west of Manaus. The cable-laying is complete, and some of the results of this project will be reported at TNC16. Currently, there are regions in the world where geographical considerations have impeded or made impossible the conventional ways of building telecommunications infrastructure. We point out the benefits and difficulties of the alternative of subfluvial fibre optic cables.
