SAO PAULO - The price of 3G handsets is one of the main barriers to the expansion of mobile broadband in Brazil, study of a Chinese telecommunications equipment Huawei, held in cooperation with consultancy Teleco.
According to the survey, the equipment can cost from $ 49 to U.S. $ 3999, and the average price of mobile phones with GSM technology is $ 544 and with WCDMA / HSDPA, R $ 1503.
In the case of devices pre-paid or released, however, these values may be much higher, reaching U.S. $ 1999 for GSM and U.S. $ 3999 for the WCDMA / HSDPA.
The same behavior happens with the modem, the average price of a single piece unit is $ 439, falling to $ 49, when associated with a postpaid plan.
Mobile Broadband
In June 2009, mobile broadband was available in 11.3% of Brazilian municipalities, to 62% of the population.
With regard to access, according to the survey, over this period, was 4 million, with a density of 2.1 accesses per 100 inhabitants, well below the world average of five per 100 residents.
Although the scenario is not very encouraging, it is estimated that by 2014 mobile broadband will grow more than 70%, with over 60 million hits, and is the fastest growing service in Brazil.
