EXECUTIVE REPORTS
STRATEGIC REPORT: Telecommunications in Dominican Republic 2026
The report positions the Dominican Republic as the most advanced telecommunications market in the Caribbean, with a strong connectivity foundation built on mobile penetration close to 92%, near-universal 4G coverage, and early 5G deployment already reaching more than half of the population. This progress has been driven by sustained operator investment and an increasingly active regulatory agenda, within a highly concentrated market that effectively operates as a duopoly between Claro and Altice. However, this leadership coexists with structural weaknesses—particularly in fixed broadband and rural connectivity—that limit the depth of digital transformation. The sector is now entering a decisive phase shaped by three forces: a technological shift driven by fiber, 5G, and emerging digital hubs; an unprecedented regulatory reconfiguration in three decades; and growing corporate uncertainty, particularly around Altice. At the same time, the expansion of the digital economy—led by e-commerce, fintech, and cloud—opens new monetization opportunities, while also exposing gaps in critical infrastructure such as data centers. In this context, the real challenge is no longer network deployment, but transforming that infrastructure into a platform capable of generating sustainable economic value and positioning the country as a relevant digital hub in the region.
MWC 2026: Seven Moves That Redefine the Telecommunications Sector
The Mobile World Congress 2026 was not just another industry event. It marked the moment when the rules for the next decade began to take shape. This report does not describe what happened in Barcelona. It goes further. It identifies the real movements reshaping the industry, analyzes how key players are positioning themselves, and translates all of it into concrete implications for decision-making. From the entry of artificial intelligence into the core of the network to the arrival of new competitors with fundamentally different execution dynamics, this report provides a strategic reading of what many saw but few truly understood. If you are responsible for investment, technology, or positioning in the telecom sector, this report gives you a clear edge: understanding what is really happening and which decisions you can no longer afford to delay.
Strategic Report: Telecommunications in Chile 2026
Chile has established itself as one of Latin America’s most advanced telecommunications markets, but also one of the most demanding from an economic and strategic standpoint. This report offers a clear, unsentimental view of that duality: leadership in infrastructure, fiber optics, and 5G alongside growing pressure on margins, model sustainability, and network resilience. Rather than focusing on coverage or speed metrics, it examines the real tensions shaping decisions by operators, regulators, and investors, adopting a strategic and systemic perspective that integrates infrastructure security, cybersecurity, data centers, artificial intelligence, neutral networks, and satellite connectivity, and positioning Chile as an early indicator of the challenges other mature markets in the region are likely to face.
AI in the RAN: the sector’s next big dilemma?
The integration of artificial intelligence into the RAN has become one of the most complex and misunderstood debates in the mobile industry. This report explains the three competing vendor approaches, clarifies what AI truly enables in the RAN, debunks the most common myths, and outlines the structural challenges—energy, cost, architecture, and standardization—that will determine whether AI delivers real value or adds new layers of complexity. It also provides a practical map of which types of AI belong in the RAN and which are better placed in the edge, core, or cloud. Download it to gain a concise, realistic framework for evaluating AI-RAN beyond the marketing narrative.

Designed for industry executives, policymakers, and technology leaders, the report delivers actionable insights into the forces shaping Colombia’s digital future and the conditions needed to ensure its long-term sustainability and growth.
Open RAN: when openness failed to deliver on its promises
The rise of Open RAN was once hailed as a revolution that would democratize mobile networks, reduce vendor dependence, and unleash a new wave of innovation. But five years later, the industry faces a sobering question: has openness truly delivered autonomy and efficiency, or has it merely reshaped dependence under a different name? With 22 years of independent telecom analysis, TeleSemana.com offers a critical perspective in its new position paper, “Open RAN: when openness failed to deliver on Its promises”. The report examines the economic, operational, and strategic realities behind Open RAN, contrasting its ideals of democratization with the practical limits of cost, governance, and market concentration. Download the full report and join the debate on whether Open RAN remains a path to technological sovereignty—or a reminder that in telecom, openness does not always mean freedom.
Strategic Report: Telecommunications in Peru 2025
The report “Telecommunications in Peru 2025” provides a comprehensive snapshot of the country’s digital ecosystem at a defining moment. It explores how the allocation of 400 MHz for 5G deployment, the innovative Huñuy Peru Plan, and the new Artificial Intelligence Law could reshape national development. Combining data, context, and forward-looking analysis, it examines progress in connectivity, the evolution of mobile and fixed markets, regulatory challenges, and the impact of institutional instability on investment and competitiveness. Aimed at executives, analysts, and policymakers, the study outlines three potential scenarios through 2035 —from optimistic to critical— and defines the conditions for Peru to become a true Andean digital hub, highlighting how connectivity can drive growth, equity, and economic transformation in the decade ahead.
From Dumb Pipe to Dumb Space
The rise of LEO Direct-to-Device (D2D) services has been hailed as a revolution that will close coverage gaps and redefine connectivity. But is this innovation truly building a sustainable business model, or are we repeating the same mistakes that left terrestrial operators trapped in the “dumb pipe” dilemma? With 22 years of independent telecom analysis, TeleSemana.com brings a critical perspective in its new position paper “From Dumb Pipe to Dumb Space? The Risk Behind LEO D2D Services”. This document examines five of the main arguments supporting LEO D2D and contrasts them with counterpoints and counter-rebuttals. The goal is not to dismiss innovation, but to raise the uncomfortable questions that must be addressed before billions are invested in orbital infrastructure. Download the full report and join the debate on whether LEO D2D can truly escape the commoditization trap—or if we are simply exporting it into space.
Strategic Report: Telecommunications in Costa Rica
The report “Telecommunications in Costa Rica 2025–2035” provides an updated and clear overview of the sector, analyzing the impact of the 5G spectrum auction, the expansion of fiber optics, and national bets on artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and cybersecurity, while assessing competitive dynamics, regulatory and energy challenges, and the potential contribution of up to US$3.925 billion to GDP by 2035. It sets out a strategic roadmap with scenarios, metrics, and recommendations for government, operators, and investors, positioning Costa Rica before a unique window of opportunity to transform its digital infrastructure into a driver of growth, inclusion, and competitiveness.
