"More spectrum availability, intense handset vendor competition and decreasing smartphone prices have fueled mobile content consumption and wireless broadband connectivity in Colombia," says Pyramid Research Analyst Juliana Gomez. The Colombian government, through the "Plan Vive Digital," has set a very ambitious agenda to increase broadband access and usage in the country, by putting special emphasis on the availability of infrastructure for broadband coverage.

With the government setting the right conditions to achieve its goal of quadrupling the number of Internet connections in the country to 8.8 million, including mobile Internet, Pyramid expects connectivity to become one of the most dynamic contributors to total mobile revenue growth in the coming years. "Pyramid projects that mobile broadband and infotainment services together will represent 50% of total data revenue in 2016," Gomez indicates.
