Description

The social and economic scenario in Argentina has had a strong impact in the traditional ISP business, causing paid accounts to achieve slow or negative growth during 2002. Nonetheless, current dial up and broadband growth are being stimulated by increased awareness from alternative business approaches as free access and public access, strongly contributing in driving Internet into the mainstream and leveraging the network effect. With use of indirect channels to commercialize service, the Internet market in Argentina does continue to offer some long term potential, though that does depend on the economic situation in the country.
